Lake LBJ Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 20)
GOOD. Water stained; 65 degrees; 0.25 feet below pool. Crappie are fair on minnows in 12-20 feet of water on brush. Channel and blue catfish are good on punch bait in 20-24 feet of water over drop-offs and rock piles. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Bass are very good with catches up 6-8 pounds in the grass with chatterbaits, rattle traps and crankbaits. Brush piles in 8-15 feet with shad colored crankbaits, and 7-10 inch June bug or pumpkin worms. Bass are under the docks with ⅜ ounce jigs and frogs. The morning bite has been best. Crappie are good with minnows over brush piles. Report by Charles Whited, Barefoot Fishing Tours. Bass are good working docks and bulkheads with creature baits, worms and flukes. A frog or topwater around underwater vegetation is working well. Do not forget a wakebait in those same areas. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs. This lake has a lot of vegetation in shallow water. Focus on these areas near deeper water, 10 feet, has been loaded with fish with creature bait, or Texas rigged worms. Fish are not very big but good numbers can be caught. Back of canals in shallow water under docks with a weightless senko. Water is stained more than normal so fish will relate to structure and banks. Report by Randal Frisbie, Central Texas Fishing Guide, LLC.
