Limestone Lake

GOOD. Water clear; 55 degrees; 2.01 feet below pool. Fishing patterns are steady. Some crappie are as deep as 24 feet with most in 10-15 feet of water. Crappie are on brush, roaming, and on the power line pylons biting minnows. Crappie eggs are still not fully developed yet. White bass, catfish and crappie are roaming fish in 18-24 feet of water. White bass eggs are fully developed though. A few more fish have made the push toward the north end along with a few more headed into the creeks. Largemouth bass have started feeding on crawfish, so red and crawfish pattern baits will be a key to catching bass. Largemouth bass are in 6 feet of water or less on docks, bulkheads and rocks with red chatterbaits, red rattletraps, and Texas rigs. This pattern will be consistent until February when the water starts to warm. Numbers of catfish and white bass are in 18-24 feet of water. Catfish are biting in the creeks and on timber with birds. The best catfish bite will be at the marina for bank anglers. Report by Colan Gonzales, Lake Limestone Guide Service.
