Lake LBJ ranked 7th in Central Region

Lake LBJ captured seventh best lake to fish in the Central Region of the U.S. according to BASSMASTER. The process to create the rankings takes about three months to complete. Data is received from state fisheries agencies across the U.S. This information is coupled with catch data collected from dozens of tournament organizations across the country for the past 12 months. After the numbers are crunched, a blue-ribbon panel from the bass fishing industry debates the strength of the lakes, then settle on final rankings.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 26)

GOOD. Water stained; 67 degrees; 0.31 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 on beds fishing wacky senkos under and near docks, or in shallow grass with your favorite plastics. Concentrate on retaining walls with topwaters for numbers. Shad spawn will begin mid April, so keep a buzzbait and swim jig near and target chunk rock. White bass can be found midlake on long drawn out points and humps. Report by Charles Whited, Barefoot Fishing Tours.
