Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 3)

EXCELLENT. Water stained; 84 degrees; 1.06 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. A lot of shad moving back in creeks, other fish will later follow. Drifting larger cut bait is best for bigger fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. Consistently finding the best action in 13-18 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 on several humps throughout the lake. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
