Lake Texoma's a real hotspot for Smallmouth Bass. These bronze backs are known for their fierce fights and acrobatic jumps. They typically range from 2 to 4 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 5 or 6-pounder. Spring and fall are prime times for Smallmouths, but they can be caught year-round if you know where to look. These fish love rocky areas and drop-offs, so we'll target those sweet spots.
Blue Catfish are another Lake Texoma staple, and they can grow to monstrous sizes. We're talking potential for 20, 30, even 50-pound fish! These whiskered giants are most active in the warmer months, but winter can produce some real trophies too. They're bottom feeders, so we'll set up with some stink bait or cut bait and wait for that telltale tug. Landing a big Blue Cat is like wrestling a submarine - it's an experience you won't forget!

Blue cats are the heavyweight champs of Lake Texoma. These bruisers can top 50 pounds, with whiskers as thick as your finger. Look for them in deeper channels and holes, especially where creeks feed into the main lake. They're active year-round, but really turn on in late spring and early fall. Blues put up a stubborn fight, using their size to bull-dog you. Anglers love 'em for the challenge and their mild, flaky meat. Fresh-cut bait is key – skipjack herring if you can get it. Let it sit on the bottom in 20-40 feet of water. When a blue takes it, you'll know – the rod nearly doubles over. Give 'em a minute to swallow before you set the hook. Bring heavy gear, these boys don't come in easy.
Smallmouth bass are real fighters for their size, usually running 2-4 pounds but packing a punch. You'll find them hanging around rocky areas and ledges in Lake Texoma, especially in 10-20 foot depths. They love cooler water, so spring and fall are prime times to target them. Smallies hit hard and jump like crazy – it's a blast on light tackle. Their meat is tasty too, firm and mild. To up your odds, try dragging a tube jig slowly along the bottom near points and drop-offs. When you feel that telltale tap, set the hook fast. These bronzebacks aren't huge, but pound-for-pound they're some of the scrappiest fish in the lake.
