This Week's Fishing Report
GOOD. Water slightly stained; 58 degrees; 0.93 feet below pool. The bass are heavily related to baitfish this time of year, so a good rule of thumb is find the bait and then you will find the bass. Bass are fair flipping soft plastics around reed bases in 1-5 feet of water. The key is to cover water until you find a good stretch that holds multiple bass. Bass are holding back in the shade around heavy cover to escape the sunlight. Early morning and late evening topwater is also effective for targeting bass. Baitfish are in the backs of pockets and upriver with the bass close behind. It is important to slow down your retrieve during the winter months because the fish are more lethargic due to the colder water temperatures. Crappie are fair around main lake boat docks on chartreuse jigs. Catfish are fair on cut bait and stink bait around river channel bends. Report by the Angelo State Fishing Team.
