Texas Fish Report

Still no update on the DFG trout stocking webpage, but we are still expecting one sooner than later. Anglers off the shoreline near the main launching facilities have been having the best luck with the rainbow trout. Some limits have been brought in as of late but has slowly thinned out since the last plant. A few off boats have also been having luck and getting into a few holdovers. Power-baits and Kastmasters have been doing the trick. Bright colors and garlic seem to be working best for the stockers. Striper fishing has picked up a tad with a few more caught lately. Most have been off cut bait down deep. If you’re able to find a non-windy day and able to locate schools with a fish finder, you can get onto a few decent sized fish. Largemouth and smallmouth fishing has improved a little with most fish coming deep as well. Most fish have been caught on the good old Drop shot or Carolina-rig. Some deeper diving reaction baits have also been producing for a few out there. The swimbait bite remains tough with very few fish to report on besides one giant that was caught the other week. Catfish are still biting here and there, with mackerel or chicken liver working best. The bluegill and crappie are hard to find this time of the year, but anglers have a better chance down at the lagoon for these species.
