Fishing Report from TPWD (Aug. 27)

EXCELLENT. Water slightly stained; 86-88 degrees; 0.98 feet below pool. Catfish are good on main lake humps and flats in 12-24 feet on cut shad and other usual baits like shrimp or prepared baits. Drifting larger cut bait is best for bigger fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. Big numbers of white bass and several trophy-class hybrid stripers have hit the deck. We are consistently finding the best action in 15-22 feet of water. Good go-to setups include a variety of slabs, spinners and the always-reliable yellow bladed Bo Blade spinner using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling Pet Spoons with a hellbender set-up at 3 mph in 13-17 feet of water is absolutely crushing the white bass. Water temperatures are currently holding around 86-88 degrees and will continue to rise as summer heats up over the next couple of weeks. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck's Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
