November 13, 2025 - Texas Parks and Wildlife fishing reports are updated each week, usually by Thursday morning. The reports are compiled by an outside contractor who receives the information from bait shops, marinas and fishing guides. Only the local lakes are listed below.

FAIR. 71 degrees; 4.56 feet below pool. Water temperatures have finally cooled into the mid-60s, putting bass on the feed. Despite some strong winds this week, and more wind and storms expected this weekend, fishing has been solid overall. The shallow bite is good on chatterbaits, weightless flukes, senkos, and spooks. Mid-range fish are also active in 8-15 feet of water on Texas rigs and mid-depth crankbaits especially around creek beds and main lake points. The deeper bite has not fully turned on yet, though a few smaller fish are being caught on Carolina rigs, spoons, and drop shots. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
SLOW. Water stained; 80 degrees; 8.95 feet below pool. The lake is slowly falling, creating lots of humps and shallow areas, so boaters should use caution. Water temperature is around 90 degrees, and bass are being caught shallow on points and pockets with topwater frogs and senkos, while crankbaits are working on points and drains and jigs or Carolina rigs are producing off ledges and structure. Crappie are starting to stack up on brush and timber, white bass are schooling off points, and catfish have moved into deeper water and creek channels with cut bait working well. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
FAIR. Water light stain; 71 degrees. Largemouth bass are fair for fish between 3-6 pounds. Target grass lines and points with flukes on small jig head, or ribbon tailed Texas rigged worms. Crappie are fair on brush piles. Bluegill are excellent on small crappie jigs with a slip bobber. Catfish are slow. Report by Cal Cameron, Cal's ETX Guide Service.
FAIR. Water muddy-heavily stained; 65 degrees; full pool. The lake has started to clear, and some good fish are beginning to stack up. As the water continues to clear, it’s a great time to break out the power-fishing gear - square-bills, jerkbaits, glide baits, topwaters, and deep-divers are all producing and make for a much more exciting bite than dragging a worm along the bottom. In the meantime, try a Spook-style bait or popper early and late in the day for aggressive topwater strikes. Crappie action remains solid, while catfish have been slow. Report by Eric Wolfe, NacoTack Fishing Service. Largemouth are slow rattle traps and bladed jigs on shallow grass lines. Crappie are slow to fair with chartreuse jigs. Catfish are slow. Report by Cal Cameron, Cal's ETX Guide Service.
GOOD. Water stained; 65 degrees; 1.85 feet below pool. Water temperatures are dropping quickly. Largemouth bass are excellent on swimbaits along grass lines, and bladed jigs in shallow water. Crappie are fair in standing timber with live minnows or chartreuse jigs. Fish are 1.5-2 pounds. Catfish are fair on cut bait or live minnows. Report by Cal Cameron, Cal's ETX Guide Service.
