Houston Lake

GOOD. Water clear; 59 degrees; 0.05 feet above pool. Fishing has been excellent across the system, with largemouth bass on fire and being caught on drop-offs, back lakes, river bends, and around cypress nubs in 4-6 feet of water using grubs, worms rigged on 3/16 or ⅛ ounce weights, RoboWorms, and crankbaits worked along ledges. Crappie fishing has been great in East Fork and Luce’s Bayou, where anglers are finding success tight to structure with small plastics, jigs, or minnows, and a spot-lock trolling motor is helpful in windy conditions. White bass are moving north and are being caught in the West Fork, East Fork, and nearby bayous on Rooster Tails, curly-tail grubs, and Road Runners, especially over sandy bottoms. Catfish are holding near the train tracks, with jug lines producing best using 8-12 foot leaders, baits set around 7 feet deep, and punch bait or fresh shad. Always wear your kill switch and be safe!
