![]() ![]() This little cove, which has provided almost nonstop top water action the previous day was mirror smooth, not even the sign of baitfish were breaking the water. Just the day before, everyone was experiencing the thrill of throwing big Pencil Poppers and a prop type top water plug named Choppos to greedy surface feeding stripers and boating fish up to 13 pounds. We all expected the front and slack wind to slow the top water bite from the previous few days but even with the adverse conditions, we were hoping for the best. The water temperature had dropped 4 degrees overnight, thanks to the passage of the recent cool front and the lake was as slick as glass. Back at the dock before daylight that morning, we were discussing fishing conditions. There was a combined 250 years of fishing experience present in the boat including to very veteran striper guides. My long time friend Bill Carey, the ‘boss man’ at Striper Express was with us as was our friend Jeff Rice, there to hopefully get in on the red-hot striper fishing of the past several days and film a segment of our TV show “A Sportsmans Life” on Carbon TV. Guide Dave Escamilla with Striper Express eased the throttle back on his guide boat last week at the mouth of a ten acre pocket off the main lake on Lake Texoma. ![]()
