Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 15)

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.35 feet above pool. Striper fishing is great with the drop in water temperatures. Lures have really started producing, deadsticking flukes along river channels and deep flats in 40-60 feet of water or swimbaits on structure, ledges and humps in 20-35 feet of water. Slow down your approach and stick with fish if you’re getting bit and marking them as they turn on longer into a drift. Trophy fish are showing up and all the fish are healthy! Catfishing remains tough with the drop in water temps. Target big blues moving up in creeks and near the rivers with whole gizzard shad anchored up in 5-15 feet of water. Drift flats near the river channel in 30-50 feet of water. Crappie are holding deep in 20-30 feet of water on humps and ledges with brush and structure. Jigs with a tipped minnow fishing vertically in the brush. Electronics make it easier to spot fish but it doesn’t make them eat! Bass fishing slowed with the water temps dropping but look for fish to move up in coves and near docks on sunny days. Shaky head or a swim jig on drop-offs near stumps in 8-15 feet of water. Look for brush and stumps fish that will be holding close to Texas rigged plastics as well. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass continue to be good with Alabama rigs or sassy shad on structure in 15-25 feet of water. When this bite ends, the bigger fish are being caught under the birds in deeper water deadsticking or with Alabama rigs. This bite is typically around the last hour of sunlight. The deadsticking bite is really picking up. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
