TPWD Weekly Fishing Reports for February 4

February 5, 2026 - 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. If you would like to see the fishing report for other Texas lakes, click the following link https://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/action/reptmap.php?EcoRegion=PW.

Toledo Bend

FAIR. 50 degrees; 4.25 feet below pool. Water temperatures are in the mid to low 50s, and bass fishing has been slow due to the colder water. A few warmer days ahead could help raise temperatures slightly, which should improve activity. For now, anglers need to slow down their presentations whether fishing deep or shallow. Once water temperatures climb back into the high 50s to low 60s, the bite is expected to pick back up. No crappie report at this time. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.

Sam Rayburn

SLOW. Water muddy; 51 degrees; 9.46 feet below pool. Groundhog Day brought typical mid-winter conditions to the lake with cool water temperatures and slower overall fish activity. Anglers are finding the best success by fishing deeper structure and slowing down their presentations. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.

Pinkston

FAIR. Water normal stain; 51 degrees. Largemouth bass are fair with suspended jerkbaits or Carolina rigs. Crappie are slow on white or chartreuse jigs. Catfish are fair on live minnows or cut bait. Report by Cal Cameron, Cal's ETX Guide Service.

Naconiche

FAIR. Water stained; 46.5 degrees; full pool. The lake is at full pool, and this is a great time to use power-fishing techniques like square-bill crankbaits, jerkbaits, glide baits, topwaters, and deep divers. The best bite has been early and late in the day, though midday action can still be productive through the remainder of the fall and winter pattern. Larger female bass are feeding up ahead of the spawn. Crappie numbers are strong, while catfish activity has been slow. Report by Cal Cameron, Cal's ETX Guide Service.

Nacogdoches

GOOD. Water stained; 49 degrees; 1.33 feet below pool. Largemouth bass are excellent on suspending jerkbaits and large swimbaits on grass lines. Crappie are slow with white or chartreuse jigs. Catfish are fair on cut bait or live minnows. Report by Cal Cameron, Cal's ETX Guide Service.

February 4, 2026 - Center ISD was honored to host a Letter of Intent signing ceremony for two of their senior football athletes, Decaden Cooks and Cody Adkinson, on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

Athletic Director Coach Jack Alvarez thanked everyone for coming and recognized the young men signing letters, "Hey, we're here today, I just want to say a few words... [Decaden and Cody are] very talented guys, played really good for this school for 4 years, and we're proud to give it a chance to send them off to further their education and also get to play a game that they love... I just want to congratulate them."

Coach Alvarez added, "What I do want to encourage them to do is be a finisher. You start to college to play football, finish playing football; number one, finish getting that degree. That's something nobody can ever, ever take away."

"Hey, thank you guys very much. I appreciate it. One of the main reasons I like to do signing days, I make sure we get to do this, and so these guys know they truly are supported. This whole room came here to support them today. A lot of family and friends take pictures. That's very, very important as these guys go off," finished Coach Alvarez.
