Wintertime Striper Fishing Techniques- How to Catch Lake Texoma Striper- Deadsticking Beats Shad!

- I had Michael and Kimberly purchase a thumper from me recently. They had built their own thumper but had not experienced much success and wanted to get a more robust model. Additionally, they wanted to learn some effective ways to catch striper in the wintertime on Lake Texoma. Ed and I decided to show them how to use Umbrella Rigs as well as show them techniques for deadsticking and live bait fishing. Since this was a teaching trip, we weren’t focused on limits but instead focused on the how and why of fishing. We were able to catch more than our limit of overs and ended up tossing back some nice fish! Hopefully this video will help you catch more fish in the wintertime as well!
Key tips from the video:
1. Fish had been deeper. The water warmed and the fish and bait moved shallower. We caught bait in coves in the morning.
2. First we started with umbrella rigs. We caught fish trolling A rigs in 20’ of water. We looked for humps on the bottom then trolled over them. We ran our rigs 3mph 140-150’ back and hooked up 10 seconds after we passed over the fish usually on both rods.
3. We had bait and deadstick so went to show them how to use those techniques…. We used a thumper to create several schools. If no bites in 10 min we moved.
4. We tried drifting .3 since we had bait but no luck. We had to use the trolling motor to drift about .7 to get bites and when we did it was fast and furious.
5. The 2oz jighead got the most bites and bubblegum and shad were the hot colors.
6. We tandem rigged smaller jig heads and dropped them further back to get bites.
7. We caught 8 overs on deadstick and 2 on bait…
Winter deadsticking on Texoma is epic this year based on the number and size of the fish that we are seeing! Get your boats ready and get your thumpers ordered and take a kid fishing when you can!

This was a fantastic experience! Huge thank you to Eric at Thump Em Up Fishing and Ed’s Texoma Guide Service. We have since used what we’re learned from this experience on our own and have had a blast. Thank you guys!!!
Thanks again Michael for joining us on the trip and asking all those terrific questions! Glad to hear that you caught them today! Hopefully this will help other folks learn what you did!
Sunshine Bait Tank!
That’s a greyline. I have also used a Moeller but you have to add ice, salt and shad keeper in the summer!
You are correct. I bought mine years back at Kingston.
Loved this trip! Thank you! Very successful and fun 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the trip and the fish! Glad the Yummy Fried Fish recipe worked for you! Now you can put more nice striper in the boat!
Great video and great fish! I just subscribed…I started my own fishing you channel a couple of months back (I’m in Tulsa) and I really enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Let’s collaborate if you come to Texoma!
@@ThumpemupFishingchannel absolutely! The Striper you catch look awesome! Have you ever caught any Alligator Gar down there?
@@fishincommission I don’t chase them but some of my friends have caught some over 100lb
If you're not catching fish on Lake Texoma then your mot holding your mouth right as my Dad would say lol😂
It’s a great fishery for sure
Love the video! What brand are the 2 oz. jig heads you use for dead sticking.
Thanks Mike Baker! I usually get mine from local guys that pour them or from eBay!
@@ThumpemupFishingchannel thanks!
@@MikeBakerVideos you bet!
Hey Eric do you by chance know where to get those rod holders you guys were using in the back the 2 holders on one tube coming out of the angled rod holder? I really like those and need a few sets lol !
Yes I do! I watched @Mike Smedley video and his friend made it for him! Shoot me an email, info@thumpemupfishing.com and I will send his contact info! This video talks about them!

What size of circle hook do you use for live bait?
I use a size 6 Owner Muta light circle hook on a loop knot. It allows the bait to swim very naturally
@@ThumpemupFishingchannel Size 6? Wow, not too small? What about your lead line? 8lb or 10lb?
@@sonnykapsengchanh7614 the size 6 helps your bait swim naturally! I use 17lb fluorocarbon for the leader. I also tie a loop knot on the hook to also allow it to swim freely.
@@ThumpemupFishingchannel Thank you, for your advice.
