Fishing for Stripers at Lake Texoma

Baits for catching stripers include jigs, slabs, live baits and top water lures. This article will focus on how to catch stripers at Lake Texoma using top water. Equipment The important thing to remember when using topwater lures is to choose a med action rod, preferably 6’6 to 7 inches. Topwater bait requires a lot of rod action and if you use a heavier rod than what is prescribed the rod action might wear you out.

If the numbers hold up about 3,000 employees will be relocated to the new site and about 1,000 job opportunities will be opened. The CEO said these vacancies might probably be filled by workers from North Texas. The move is not only based on the good turn-out of approvals but seasoned employees were well considered as Toyota will not compromise their top performers over the approval of majority of its employees for the propose…
