Texas Fish Report

The catfish bite has been great lately with back-to-back stocks in the last two weeks. Popular baits include garlic scented shrimp and mackerel. Popular spots include the east side of lake 4 across from the island and the west side of Lake 3 near the point. The bass continue to bite on topwater baits in the early mornings such as frogs and spooks. Popular spots include the east shore of Lake 5 and the northwest corner of Lake 4. Our next scheduled stock will take place on Monday, August 24. Lakes 3 and 4 were most recently stocked on 8/17/20 with 500 pounds of catfish each.
