The fish in Texoma are most plentiful and we will see no shortages of our supply here. We are doing well fishing with sassy shad cranked along the bottom in shallow water 8-15 ft. deep around structure.

John Schmidt of OKC recently caught this 11.74 lb largemouth on Lake of the Arbuckles in about 5 ft. of water.
