FAIRTPWD ReportFeb 25, 2026· Water: 54°F

FAIR. Water normal stain; 54 degrees; 0.41 feet above pool. Bass are in pre-spawn mode with a decent concentration of fish roaming and on the deeper grass .As for the shallow bite some of the fish in the deeper grass will start moving up in the afternoons as water temps peak. A bladed jig and jerkbait are great options to cover water this time of year. Always a go to is the weightless 5 inch stick bait in shad and bluegill patterns around docks. Mix in a dropshot, Carolina rig, and Texas rig worm on the edge of the grass line. Offshore fish can be found with live scope and caught with an umbrella rig and a minnow on a jig head. Crappie are schooled up roaming out in the main lake areas and some still on brush piles. Report by Captain Kirk Pasalich, Artifishable Fishing Guide Service.
