Winter Fishing Update (with Big Bass Pics!)




My favorite time of year has arrived! For the next few months I will be one happy camper. I live for the winter fishing. If you’re serious about catching a trophy bass you need to make a trip during the colder months.

Winter time isn’t the time for numbers. Sure, the possibility of catching quite a few is there, but this is a time for an opportunity at the kind of fish this lake is famous for. If you’ll take a look a the Trophy Photos section of my website, you’ll find that cold weather apparel and big bass often go hand in hand!

The lake is currently a tad over 3′ low. It’s good for the lake to be full, but it’s best for the fishing if the lake is a little low like it is now. I am very excited to see what this winter has in store for us. As of right now, water temperature, weather patterns, and the water level are all lining up for a banner January and February.

If you’re planning a trip, I hope you’ll give me the opportunity to help in any way I can.

Here are a few of our catches from the past 3 guide trips. The very last picture is the big bass of the month from last month.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 10)

GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 85-90 degrees; 0.91 feet below pool. Early and late bass topwater bite around grasslines and isolated cover on main lake and secondary points. Try frog and mouse patterns for topwater. Bass are beginning to school, a hard-bodied popper should work well. Bream are shallow, try small hoppers.
