GREAT. Water stained; 58.3 degrees; 1.13 feet under pool. Catfish action has been excellent, with plenty of good eaters and several trophy-class fish being caught by working baited holes from 10-50 feet deep or drifting the channels with natural baits. Bass fishing has been good along the edges and offshore, where fish are chasing shad schools. Report by Brad Doyle with Bradley’s Guide Service. Crappie have been productive in 15-24 feet of water and near structure, with minnows, plastics, and hair jigs producing, though many bites have been very light. Hybrid striped bass are showing good numbers in 18-37 feet of slabs, spoons, large minnows, and shad, with many keepers mixed in with juvenile hybrids and white bass. Be sure to check the tooth patch or use the Texas Parks & Wildlife Outdoor Annual App for the proper identification. If water temperatures continue to drop, dead-sticking should become more effective. Always wear your life jacket. Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy.
