Braunig Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Red drum are the most popular sport fish in the reservoir. Hybrid striped bass and catfish are the next most sought after species. Although quality to trophy size largemouth bass are present, a limited fishery currently exists.

Cover & Structure

The main cover is provided by bulrush and cattails along the shoreline and the main structure found at Braunig consists of rock rip-rap along the dam and peninsulas. Primarily bulrush and cattails along shoreline.

Tips & Tactics

Red drum fishing is good March through August with many fish in excess of 20 pounds harvested annually. As on the coast, this schooling species may sometimes be located by watching for feeding activities by seagulls or pelicans. In winter, red drum may be found near the heated discharges. Crawfish and tilapia are very good natural baits; good artificial lures include spoons (gold and silver), rattle traps and trolled deep-diving crankbaits.. Hybrid striped bass fishing is good from January through August, and peaks in spring.

Fishing Regulations

Braunig Lake has a special regulation on red drum. See bag and size limits. Check current TPWD regulations before your trip.
