Thank for diving into how you find them using your sonar! It really give me a good idea of what to like for. I hope to be on the water soon! I can’t wait to see your next video!
@Lure Up thanks! I can’t wait to get the Livescope installed. I’m trying to get a TraxTech mount but they are backordered. I think more than anything it will save us a ton of time catching bait.
Excellent Video as usual❣️ Thanks for digging into the details‼️🎣 10below here in Indiana this morning sure hope everything doesn't freeze up. Would sure like to be back on the water right after Christmas. Y'all have a Merry Christmas‼️🎣
@BrianWathen hopefully the weather won’t affect the bite too much, it won’t be until next weekend we could go out again on the lake. Merry Christmas to you as well!
I just discovered your videos and have been enjoying them so much and became a subscriber. Love the enthusiasm on your boat. I hope you see this comment because I need some advice. I loved to go fishing with my Dad (I'm from Canada) growing up but then married a Texas nonfisherman and hadn't been fishing for 40 years. My son finally became interested in fishing and asked if we wanted to go in halfsies on a boat with him. I said absolutely. So as 69 1/2 years old grandmothers, I finally got to go fishing again. I make them take me out once a week to every ten days. We have only been fishing in Lake Ray Roberts so far for sandies (got catching them down now), catfish, and crappie. Lake Texoma is very close to us too. After watching your videos, we really want to try for striper on Texoma, and I'm in the process of buying poles, reels, and line for that. Everyone on RUclips wants you to buy $250 reels. Do you really need something that expensive? What would you recommend?
@Mary Anne Feucht. Great decision on the boat! Thanks a lot for watching our videos & Glad you found us. To answer your question, no you don’t need super expensive poles and reels. Handso down get the Ugly Stik Striper rod. They are amazing and cost $59. For bait at reels get a 400 size. I got all my reels off eBay. They are the high end Calcutta 400 but you can find the Corsair for $30-$40 and you can’t go wrong if you aren’t fishing every day. Just don’t go cheap on bait tank and grab you a splasher and thumper. Good luck!
@@BooneBoys Thank you for the quick reply. We already have a thumper and splasher. Make so much difference. One more question, please. I am trying to find 1 1/2 ounce jig heads in the colors you have but are having a hard time finding them. There are hardly any in that size. Where did you get yours?
@@BooneBoys Thank you so much. I have to cram as much fishing as I can in because there's no telling how much longer I have on this earth. I am about to be 71. I don't see how there can be fishing in heaven. When I used to come across the fishing shows on TV, I would wonder who in the world would watch those. Now it's me. I spend hours watching them instead of doing housework.
Great video and great fish! I just subscribed. I just started my Own You Tube fishing channel a couple of months ago and really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work!
The chartreuse and pearl is the color we used last week. It was my first time to catch fish while deadsticking...my splasher had already killed its battery (lawn tractor batery) and my thumper is not finished, but should be soon!
You guys slaying those fish again. Wow what a hot bite you guys were on. My dad and I just purchased a 2018 Ranger Z521C. It has 2 of those lowrance hds12 on it. I also installed the Garmin livescope on it. Do you keep your lowrance units on default settings or you adjust some of the settings? If you do you should make a video on what your settings are. 👍 Good job again Boone Boys!!
That’s a nice boat. We got a livescope but just don’t have a pole yet for it. We will probably put it by my dad so he can mess with it while fishing. So I’ve tweaked the settings to make it work for us, but I will make a video on it.
As a forty plus year Striper fisherman these are days you celebrate never mind those droughts that you went thru past month we sometimes would be only boat around anywhere fishing can be fast and furious great video oh back in day I started with a Lowrance paper graph one of best graphs in day.
When I was a kid, we would use a graph that nobody knew how to use, and it was the size of the common smartphone. It was so small and showed a picture of a fish icon, which would be enough for us to stop and throw out the anchor. Could’ve been a large shad or interference but we couldn’t tell the difference. As a kid i fished with an older gentleman who has now passed, and he used a vexilar and I was so confused by it. We smoked the fish slabbing, and still today it was the best slabbing day I’ve ever had.
New subscriber here. I live very close to Lake Overholser in the city and we're supposed to have some decent hybrids in there. I invite you to come try out some of your techniques here. I may try my luck at Foss here next month. I have heard good things about Foss
@jarodmorris4408 thanks for following us! I’ve never fished Overholser. I don’t think I saw them in the stocking list in 2022 for any specie. Foss is great right now until end of December for deadstick. Seems like a short window sometimes there Deadsticking.
@@BooneBoys Channels and hybrids are supposed to be stocked in Overholser annually, but I believe it's by OKC since it's a Close to Home waters lake. I'd love to get out to Foss but holidays and a big work project coming up a week before Christmas. I was at Bass Pro today and couldn't find chartreuse pearl, but found some limetreuse. Could be interesting. I may just drift out on Overholser and see what I catch, if anything. I saw you catch some nice channels this way too. Maybe another video. I've been watching quite a few and get them mixed up.
Thanks! We use the 5.25” super flukes. I’m sure the 4” would work as well, but we just use 5.25”. Problem is with the small ones is using the 1.5oz heads it’s pretty big for the small flukes, rips the heads apart.
Between my normal job and taking my boys fishing I wouldn’t have the time. Also to be a top guide you really need to be on the water 5 days a week to keep with the movement of fish, I respect guides, it’s a tough gig that looks easy some days and other days it would be a tough career.
@@BooneBoys your videos make it look easy! 😆 when I finally decide to buy me a boat, I’ll be sure to ask you for some tips. Fishing spillway is different than any huge lake. Keep them vids coming! And good luck at the rodeo if you’re there!!
Most of the time straight braid. You really need to feel the light bite. Most of the time they will spit it out if you don’t set the hook. We do have a flouro pole just in case we are struggling and want to eliminate all variables. But we don’t see any difference between mono and braid as far as bites, EXCEPT if you use a bright braid. We saw that last year on Texoma a big difference.
Hi How much line should I put on our reels for stripers? We're going up to Lake Texoma for a two-day camping/fishing trip next week, and I just about have everything set up that I think we'll need. Thanks.
We use 400 reels and put about 75 yards of filler mono and about 125-150 yards or so of mainline braid. It will depend on your lb test you want to use.
Yes you can put all braid. It’s just to save money. Typically you never use half the line. I many times go through 2 braids main lines before changing the mono filler line.
Use some off eBay and I started using Bulldogbaits this last year because they make 2oz and 2.5oz jigs heads. Normally use 1-1.5oz but windy days it’s nice to have bigger.
@davidjackson7051 no doubt sandbass taste better than striper. People think I’m crazy, but catfish are still my favorite. Maybe it’s because that’s what I grew up on.
Deadsticking is a winter fishing technique. I'll try and do a video that only talks about deadsticking, but we have a lot of deadsticking videos on our channel that show how to do it.
Thank for diving into how you find them using your sonar! It really give me a good idea of what to like for. I hope to be on the water soon! I can’t wait to see your next video!
You’re welcome! Hope it helps you out next time out.
Love watching your videos. Very informative and the excitement in y’all’s voice is electrifying!!!! Keep up the videos
Thanks Dale. We appreciate the support!
Hahaha the secret scent trick was awesome!!!
Ha ha.
Another really enjoyable video!...I can’t wait to see your videos once you install livescope!...it’s so fun to watch them eat!
@Lure Up thanks! I can’t wait to get the Livescope installed. I’m trying to get a TraxTech mount but they are backordered. I think more than anything it will save us a ton of time catching bait.
Wow! What an epic fishing trip...Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks bro … keeping me motivated. My wife finally arrives from Taiwan on Tuesday so I’ll have time to do some winter fishing. Thanks
I bet you’ll be glad to have her home. It’s been really good, today was slow, but sometimes that happens with lakes, zero to hero in a week.
Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Great action,Texoma is loaded!!!!
Texoma is one of the best lakes around.
Thanks for the info

Thanks for the insight! keep it up! check me and my boys channel out when ya get a chance!
I will check y’all out. Thx
Awesome videos!! Ever thought about starting up a guide?
Between my normal job and taking my boys fishing I wouldn’t have the time. Also to be a top guide you really need to be on the water 5 days a week to keep with the movement of fish, I respect guides, it’s a tough gig that looks easy some days and other days it would be a tough career.

Keep them vids coming! And good luck at the rodeo if you’re there!!
Could you please share your locator settings? Thank you
Will do. I’ll try and do that next time I’m out.
What conditions do you look for when you are deadsticking? Water temp, wind, fronts?
Typically below 53 degrees or so on down. As far as wind and fronts, it’s more important water temp than those.
If you are knowing you are in hybrids, sandbass or striper and they aren’t biting then you probably need to switch back to live bait.
Love foss lake. I rebuilt some of the boat slips on the east side of the marina
It’s not the best fishing lake, but your usually not run over by boats either which is always nice.
Are you using straight braid, or tying on a leader? If so, what is the set up? Love the videos!
Most of the time straight braid. You really need to feel the light bite. Most of the time they will spit it out if you don’t set the hook. We do have a flouro pole just in case we are struggling and want to eliminate all variables. But we don’t see any difference between mono and braid as far as bites, EXCEPT if you use a bright braid. We saw that last year on Texoma a big difference.
Good video lots of great information. Thank you.
You’re welcome. Glad it helped out.
What’s your favorite size fluke ? I’m looking at ordering some and what size head do you prefer?
Day in day out the 5” flukes or zman 10x. 1.5oz jig head is what I mostly prefer, but 1oz are good on calm days.
Can you use your trolling motor to just troll over the fish at 4/10 mph or is it better to drift with a sock?
I mostly use a trolling motor. It’s just a lot easier to move around to find fish. Typically we drift when wind is strong.
Great video!
Thanks!
What brand are those 1 oz jig heads your using ?
I got them on eBay. Type in 1oz Shad jig head 4/0.

Thank you very much for all your good tips and most of all I'm glad you're not playing all that music drowning you out Good job.
You’re welcome and thanks for dropping a comment.
What a great time with some bigguns
Thanks!
What jigs do you use?
Use some off eBay and I started using Bulldogbaits this last year because they make 2oz and 2.5oz jigs heads. Normally use 1-1.5oz but windy days it’s nice to have bigger.
Never give a fish away. Keep what you can use and release the rest.
And sandbass can spawn in a nice cove they select unlike strippers that need a moving stream or river to keep the eggs buoyant
@davidjackson7051 I’m still amazed at the numbers Lake Texoma has and how well they spawn in the Red River.
I think sandbass taste better than stripers and they don't have red stripe u need to cut out nice sandy
@davidjackson7051 no doubt sandbass taste better than striper. People think I’m crazy, but catfish are still my favorite. Maybe it’s because that’s what I grew up on.
Where do you get your baits from can you put up the link
I typically order them from bass pro. ZMan 10x and Zoom fluke. The 5” is what we typically use.
Can you explain dead sticking?
Deadsticking is a winter fishing technique. I'll try and do a video that only talks about deadsticking, but we have a lot of deadsticking videos on our channel that show how to do it.
how many fish can you eat
Was this on keystone
Foss Lake
