I went to Texoma on 01/08/24 for my first fishing trip of the new year. However, I did not take my boat out and decided to get back to my roots and spend the day fishing from the shore. After trying out some of the bluffs at Eisenhower State Park with no success, I moved over to Denison Dam and walked out on the rip rap to where the dam's pump station is, and started casting a ned rig to the concrete bridge pilings on the pump station walkway. My friend and I were able to catch 4 good keeper bass here, 1 spotted bass, 1 largemouth, and 2 smallmouth, with this 3 pound smallmouth pictured with the report being the biggest of the bunch. If I had to guess, I'd say the water on these pilings was about 30-35 feet deep, based on how long it took my ned rig to get to the bottom. We were casting the ned rigs out as close to the pilings as possible, and letting them sink all the way to the bottom before working them back to the shore slowly. It was partly cloudy outside with a steady northeast wind at about 10-12 miles per hour, and the outside air temperatures were between 48-55 degrees all day, with rain showers happening off and on throughout the day as well. Ned Rigs are always a go-to bait in the winter time on Texoma, especially for targeting the smallmouth, so get out on the water, whether its from a boat or the bank, and fight some of those beautiful Texoma bass!
