GREAT.
Water stained; 68 degrees; 0.93 feet above pool. Lake Conroe remains about a foot and a half low, with water temperatures climbing back to 73 degrees before the recent front pushed them into the mid-to upper-60s. Catfishing has been excellent on baited areas in 10-40 feet using Catfish Bubblegum, liver, worms, and punch bait, while bigger fish are coming from drifting natural baits like cut bream and gizzard shad. Crappie are good on brush in 10-25 feet on minnows and jigs, with numbers improving, though many are undersized and fishing pressure is increasing as word gets out. Largemouth bass have been active along edges and schooling on shad, with crankbaits and creature baits producing well. Report by Brad Doyle with Bradley’s Guide Service. Hybrid striped bass remains scattered but schooling at times, with fish found on flats in 16-34 feet using slabs, spoons, or shad. Anglers are catching many juveniles, so check the tooth-patch guide on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website for proper identification. Always wear your life jacket.
