How to Deadstick Lake Texoma Striper this Winter?

What is deadsticking?  When the weather gets cold (Texoma water surface temperature 60 or colder) Striper stop chasing shad.  Shad stop moving all over the lake and they seek warm water.  Striper will find these large pods of threadfin shad and feed for weeks.  Lake Texoma Striper want to eat in the winter, but don’t and won’t expend energy.  We catch striper by dropping a one-ounce jig to Striper we have located on our electronics!  The technique is easy, drop a 4-inch or 5-inch zoom fluke straight down and hold the rig with zero movement!  Striper will ease up to your zoom fluke and suck the bait in!  it feels like a tick of the rod or a heavy feeling.  Hook sets are FREE, so let them rip.  You will miss lots of Striper during a trip, but the ones you stick will be big!

Top 3 Lake Texoma Striper Deadsticking Tips

1.  Find the Threadfin Shad!  Look for balls of bait on your electronics and you will see Striper close by.  Don’t forget to thump a bit on the bottom of the boat with a broom handle and tennis ball taped to the end.  You can use a crutch tip too!  
2. If you don’t catch Striper in 20 minutes, MOVE!  Cover ground until you find feeding Striper!
