Water Level Details
GOOD. Water stained; 67 degrees; 0.25 feet below pool. Crappie are in 10-15 feet of water on brush with chartreuse jigs. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Many bass are on or around beds with this first wave of spawn. Throwing soft plastics and jigs are catching some. A frog or shallow crankbaits will catch a bunch around rocks, bulkheads and docks. Skipping a fluke or Texas-rigged plastics to the backs of docks are getting some nice fish. Any watermelon or green pumpkin colors are working. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs. Bass are very good around grass with crankbaits and flukes, or on brush piles in 8-12 feet of water with Texas rig and a crankbait. Bass are still spawning in the canals, with many bedding fish for anglers that want to sight fish. White bass are good on main lake points with jigging spoons on the lower end.
