This Week's Fishing Report
Week of January 14, 2026
EXCELLENT. Water stained; 58 degrees; 0.91 feet below pool. Unseasonably warm conditions have kept the lake from fully settling into winter patterns. Bass are stacking up in predictable pre-spawn staging areas and are being caught on dropshot rigged finesse worms, crankbaits, and jigs in 8–12 feet of water. Focus on rocky areas and the remaining submerged vegetation, slowing down to work key zones for the most consistent action. Report by Ander Meine, Bassquatch Fishing. Inks Lake is fishing good. Bass are good on docks, grass, laydowns and in deeper water. A swimbait or crankbait works well around rocks in 10-20 feet of water. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs.
