Fish with live bait, fly fish, bow fish or lure fish for lunkers in the Red River. Captains Joe Grigar, Mike Blakely and Doug Smith left the dock around seven A.M. with the Dickey group from Oklahoma City. Drifting live shad in the Washita River arm and anchoring on ledges they caught over 150 stripers before returning to the dock. With the help of the feeding gulls, finding the fish was relatively easy. The stripers aren't as large as they usually are at this time of year, but are getting healthier each week.
Fishing just gets better and better each day.
The silversides will be feeding in large schools until the water gets to cold in December. Get out your cold and wet weather gear for the early bite in the morning. After the sun comes out, fall days are perfect to enjoy the excitement of catching the hard fighting stripers. Black Bass are slow to fair on spinners, worms and crankbaits to 4 lbs. Brush piles, rock points and sand drops are good in 1-15 feet of water.
