We made the two plus hour drive from OK city and got to the ramp about 7:30. Our guide, Butch Dodson was the only soul in sight and he was walking back and forth trying to stay warm. He greeted us with..â€Lake Texoma (11/25/03 Protected waters a light chop??)

Well.... I had intended to post my Oklahoma experiences before now but circumstances would not allow. Spent Thanksgiving week in Oklahoma City with Son and family. We scheduled a trip to Lake Texoma to fish for stripers while we were there. It turned out to be cold (mid 20's for chill factor) and very windy (25-30 knots with gusts) They ain't kid'n when they sing about the wind sweep'n down the plain!

"Good Judgement" comes from experience, ... and a lot of that..... results from "Bad Judgement".

Afternoon CS.
My son stayed just as dry as I did. His suit is gortex complements of USAF issue.
As to the question of table fare.... they will never replace trout!
but the midwest folks don't know any better(no offense intended ...cause my roots are firmly embedded there) and they ate every thing I fried up! 
The larger fish have a good amount of red down the side that needs to be removed. The texture is much firmer (even tough to some) than most anything I could compare it to that comes from our waters. Never the less it still made up a good fish fry! 
Ken.. that is a great pic. I've got one somewhere of a 14lb'er my wife caught out of Lake Norfork a few years ago(on 8lb test...she always makes me put that part in!! ) You may be on to something about only catch'n em when its cold..... It was cool then as well but not quite like my last experience.
