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 (Jan. 8)

FAIR. Water stained; 60 degrees; 0.24 feet below pool. Crappie are fair on minnows in 12-16 feet of water on brush with chartreuse jigs. Channel and blue catfish are good on punch bait in 22-26 feet of water over drop-offs and rock piles. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Bass are good on rock piles and brush piles on sunny days. Docks always come into play on this lake so if you find the right ones you can catch a mess of bass. Look for deeper docks but if you do not find any bass try the outside edges. There are some nice grass patches around the lake as well and lots of bass can be found around some of those. Baits working are Texas-rigged plastics like worms and craws and wacky rigged stick worms. A shallow to mid crankbait and spinnerbaits are working as well. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs.
