FAIR. 71 degrees; 4.55 feet below pool. There’s really no change from last week, but rain is expected over the next several days, and some fresh water should help the lake conditions a lot. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
SLOW. Water stained; 80 degrees; 9.19 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; 61 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 stained; 63.5 degrees; full pool. The lake has begun to clear, and some good fish are starting to stack up, making it a great time for power-fishing tactics such as squarebills, jerkbaits, glide baits, topwaters, and deep-divers. The early and late bite has been strongest, though midday can still produce fish through the remainder of the fall and winter run. Crappie populations remain good, while catfish continue to be 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; 63 degrees; 1.93 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.
