This Week's Fishing Report

Week of January 14, 2026

FAIR. Water stained; 60 degrees; 0.62 feet below pool. Bass are good with the best bite in the afternoon. Seeing some fish shallow early. Chatterbait and jerkbaits have been decent. Weightless plastics fished slowly around grass edges have been producing the majority of the bites. Dropshots and Texas rigs fished out in front of hard grass 10-15 feet are good. Report by Carson Conklin, ATX Fishing. Bass are fair to good. Unusually warm winter temperatures have many bass positioning in pre-spawn staging areas. The most consistent bite has been on dropshot rigged finesse worms worked along the deeper, outside edges of submerged vegetation in 16 feet of water or more, just outside of spawning areas. Anglers may need to sort through smaller fish at times, but staying patient can still produce quality bass. Report by Ander Meine, Bassquatch Fishing.
