GOODTPWD ReportFeb 25, 2026· Water: 63°F· Clarity: stained

GOOD. Water normal stain; 63 degrees; 2.38 feet below pool. Surface water temperatures are ranging from 57-65. Water is murky in most areas from recent high winds. Stripers are biting on live bait from 12-45 feet of water, however they have been finicky after these small fronts. Right place, right time and a little luck after the fronts has been the key, but stable winds patterns should get the bite more predictable. White bass are thick from high line to Bend with big catches trolling crankbaits. Fish are also piled in the main body 20-42 feet of water biting jigging spoons. Report by Travis Holland, TH Fishing. Crappie are fair in 10-15 feet of water on brush with chartreuse jigs or minnows. Blue and channel catfish are fair in 15-25 feet of water with cut shad. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Patterns will remain consistent until the water temperature rises into the 60s. Stripers continue to be good trolling umbrella rigs and downriggers with bucktails in 15-35 feet of water on main lake points and humps, and major creek channels. Live shad and jigging spoons are fair to good along the river channel and main lake points and humps. White bass are good from Garrett Island to the river trolling crankbaits. Stop on the main points and humps with jigging spoons and smaller shad or jumbo minnows in 28-45 feet of water. Reports of white bass being caught up river. Report by Captain Aaron Dick, One Up Fishing Guide Service.
