High Plains Outdoors: Topwater Striper Fishing

This week, Luke takes us up to beautiful Lake Texoma on the Texas/Oklahoma border and recaps a trip for topwater stripers.

Luke and a couple of good friends fished with Bill Carey and his son, Chris with www.striperexpress.com.

The topwater bite is as good as it gets. Blind casting big topwater plugs such as the Pencil Popper was the ticket to some red hot catching. This bite should hold steady for the next several weeks. 

Outdoors writer, radio host and book author Luke Clayton has been addicted to everything outdoors related since his childhood when he grew up hunting and fishing in rural northeast Texas. Luke pens a weekly newspaper column that appears in over thirty newspapers.
