Texas Lake Texoma has achieved recognition, not only as one of the largest inland striper fisheries of the world but also as one of the lakes of choice for bass tournament circuits in the Southwest United States. On Preston Peninsula, just north of Pottsboro, nearly 100 tournaments are held annually, from small jackpot night tournaments to large championship bass tournaments. The area has enough facilities, including lodging, restaurants, fuel centers and other businesses needed by anglers, to support even the largest tournaments.
Striped bass continue to be the mainstay fishing for the lake.
Thousands of anglers every month fish Texoma for stripers. A ten fish per person limit with two fish 20 inches and over continue to bring anglers back. There is no lake in the United States with such a limit of fish. Stripers are probably one of the most prolific fish species in the world. Texoma offers the conditions, a slightly saline water condition coupled with a slight current that allows these fish to reproduce in the millions every year.
