Lake Texoma is in full summer fishing pattern and for me that means trolling. You can catch some striper early in the morning before sunrise running close to the bank throwing top water or swim baits but once the sun starts to come up look for them schooling in open water — they won't stay up long so better get them while it's hot because once they go down they get a little tougher to track and catch.
If trolling is not your thing you can still catch them on slabs and live bait out in the open water but, for me, trolling consistently puts bigger fish in the boat when the fish are schooled up and running fast. Boats really stack up on these fast moving schools of fish this time of year.
Trollers don't like bait fishermen sitting in the way and bait fishermen don't like trollers passing so close but that's Lake Texoma in the summer time and there is no sense fussing about it. Good Luck and stay safe.
