LAKE TEMP: Main lake 64 degrees; Coves are 70 degrees

WATER COLOR: Southern half of lake is clear; Northern half of lake muddy

CRAPPIE: Excellent / Good= We have been catching lots of nice Crappie in 6-15ft of water lately. Jigs on 6lb line has been producing very good. The bite is light so watching your line is important.

CATFISH: Excellent – Catfish can be caught in 6-15ft with cut bait

CATCH WHATS BITING!!!
Our trips are focusing mainly on CATCHING FISH of ANY species. White Bass, Crappie, Hybrid Striper and Catfish. These trips are a lot of fun because you get to experience different techniques and fishing patterns for several different types of fish. The MOST bang for your buck!

WHAT ARE THE FISH GOING TO DO NEXT?????
Crappie: The crappie will be moving on to brush, and after a good month worth of spawning, boy are they hungry! Morning and afternoon have both been very successful, as the fish are now completely refocused on eating. The next couple of months should be nothing short of awesome, as we enjoy mild temperatures, and calming winds. Our crappie bite should remain excellent well into July, and then it picks back up in October.
White Bass and Hybrid Striper: Both species have been readily available, as our fish return from the creeks with growling bellies. All that swimming around trying to find a mate makes for some hungry fish, which makes our jobs that much easier. They should be surfacing within a matter of days. If you've never got to start your day with a couple of acres of fish jumping around you, then I suggest you book a trip sometime in the next couple of months.
Catfish: Our catfish are getting ready to spawn, and have been visiting some very shallow water in search for shad.

If you're interested in catching catfish, please let us know at the time you book your trip, so we can ensure that we have freshly caught bait on the boat.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
