Water Level Details
GOOD. Water stained; 71 degrees; 0.31 feet below pool. Crappie are good 10-15 feet of water with chartreuse jigs or minnows. Catfish are good on punch bait in 20 feet of water. White bass are fair in coves and main lake points in 15-20 feet of water with jigging spoons. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Target bass in grass patches and work the area over with worms or creature baits. A shallow crankbait or a frog will get some big bites as well around bulkheads and rock piles. Look for deeper ledges and rock piles for some of those special sized bass. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs.
