π£ Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Report β May 2026
The May bite on Lake Texoma has been incredibly consistent, with anglers catching quality limits of striped bass drifting live threadfin shad near major river channels and deeper ledges. Schools of feeding fish have stayed active throughout the month, especially during low-light morning periods and on windy afternoons.
Steve Buckley with Buckley Striper Guide ServiceοΏΌ continues to put clients on fish daily using proven live bait patterns around suspended bait schools and channel edges. Most productive depths have ranged from 15 to 30 feet depending on wind direction and bait movement.
Family trips, corporate groups, and first-time anglers have all enjoyed steady action recently, with plenty of keeper-sized stripers hitting the coolers. Water clarity has remained good, and threadfin shad are holding tight to the channels, making drifting presentations extremely effective right now.
If youβre planning a Lake Texoma fishing trip, May has been one of the strongest live-bait striper bites so far this season.
