| Oklahoma Striper Fishing | |
Striper Fishing in Oklahoma While stripers are native to salt water, they naturally migrate into fresh water streams to spawn. Their eggs must remain in motion in order to hatch so the fresh water rivers and streams which drain into the ocean become the spawning grounds for stripers. Striper Fishing Lakes In Oklahoma If you like to fish for stripers, Oklahoma is OK for you. Major lakes with a healthy population of stripers include Canton Lake, Grand Lake, Great Salt Plains Lake, Kaw Lake, Keystone Lake, Lake Carl Blackwell, Lake Texoma, Oologah Lake, Robert S Kerr Reservoir, Skiatook Reservoir, Tenkiller Lake and Webber Falls Reservoir. Many of the rivers flowing into and out of these lakes also contain some striper fishing opportunities. The Illinois River was home to the Oklahoma state record striped bass. Striped Bass Fishing for Striped Bass in Oklahoma When fishing for stripers concentrate on the deeper waters in the lake. If you can locate schools of shad, stripers are often close by. When the baitfish are shallow over the deep water, you can catch stripers on crankbaits or by swimming spoons at appropriate depths. And for the ultimate thrill try large topwater baits if you see any surface feeding action. When the stripers are deep, jigs and jigging spoons work well. Live and cut bait will also take striped bass when they are in medium to deeper water. Fish nearby or in the river channel if it is a defined depth change. Trolling is also an excellent way to fish for stripers. Use flashy lures in bigger sizes.
