one for the record books in February.
Sean Chatham reeled for over 35
minutes to bring in a 184 lb alligator
gar to shore from the Red River in
Love County.
The gar measured in at 7’8 and had
more than a 3-foot girth. Oklahoma

A little piece of history
That was then...
The Beginning of Striper Fishing on Lake Texoma
a story found in a 1969 edition of a Lake Texoma Vacation Guide
NOTE TO ANGLERS: Some 100 salt water stripers ranging from 3 to 12 puonds
were planted in the lake in 1965. They are off-limits to anglers. If they are accidentally
caught, anglers are asked to carefully release them after noting where they were caught
and the approximate size. While they may appear to look at first glance somewhat like a
sandie, they are a longer shape and soon, of course, will be much bigger. When
biologists check their spawning habits and determine whether or not they have
reproduced, then the season and limits will be established.
This is now...

Oklahoma. It is widely recognized as a top fishing lake, and is one
of the most popular recreation destinations in the Southwest.
Lake Texoma was built by the Corps of Engineers in the 1940's,
and was stocked with black bass and crappie along with the
native white bass in the Red and Washita Rivers.
The lake area includes two wildlife refuges, two state parks, fifty
four U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-managed parks, twenty-six
resorts, hundreds of campgrounds and a variety of excellent golf
courses. Power boating, power sailing, personal watercraft, water
skiers and wind surfers all consider the lake an excellent place to
have fun. Lake Texoma has become a huge sailing center based
on the lake's size, depth and miles of sailing shoreline.

would expect a string of islands with sandy beaches? Or bald eagles?
The islands are especially popular on summer weekends - they're the
place to "see and be seen." Bald eagle watching is a popular autumn
activity. Several charter companies offer special tours to view these
majestic birds.
Lake Texoma is great for all types of boating from power to sail. There's
usually so much activity you can be entertained just watching all the
boats on the lake. Personal watercraft, water skiers and wind surfers all
consider the lake an excellent place to have fun. The serpentine shape
of the lake creates plenty of sheltered coves so it's always possible to
find a calm, quiet spot even on the windiest days. You'll find any type of
boat available to rent or to buy - from personal watercraft to ski boats to
party barges and houseboats.
Of course, mention Lake Texoma to a fishing enthusiast and they'll
immediately think "striper!" Texoma is famous for excellent fishing for
striped bass and other species. Plenty of professional fishing guides are
available to ensure a great experience whether you're a novice or a
seasoned angler.
This area is an immense playground - even off the water. Two wildlife
refuges, two state parks, fifty-four U.S Army Corps of Engineers -
managed parks, twenty-six resorts and hundreds of campgrounds
surround the lake. Texoma's newest golf course, Chickasaw Pointe,
brings a whole new level of excitement to an area already known for
outstanding golf.
Lake Texoma enjoys a well - deserved reputation as a major sailing lake.
The expansive lake is deep, with miles of sailing shoreline dotted with
plenty of great anchoring spots on sandy beaches or in secluded coves.
Some of the best places are only accessible by water. The lakeside
terrain varies from dramatic rocky cliffs to tree - covered slopes, adding
to the sailing experience.
If you want to sail, but don't own a boat, there are several charter
companies on the lake that can provide a vessel. You'll find selections
ranging from 25 to 48 feet in length complete with accommodations for
living or just picnicking. All you'll need to pack is your food and gear.
If you've only dreamed of sailing, you can charter a boat with an
instructor to see what it's like. If you discover that this is the life for you,
the charter companies offer lessons to get you started. Lessons usually
consist of three days on the water or two nights in a classroom and one
day on the water.
