Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 25)

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 1.37 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is improving with each cooler day. Look for fish to be schooled up, moving along ledges and in ditches between 25-40 feet of water. Bigger fish can be found on shallow flats and at the backs of creeks, feeding on gizzard shad. Live bait and topwaters will be producing fish. Crappie fishing is also picking up with the cooler temperatures. Target brush and structure near points and drop-offs in 15-20 feet of water. Both jigs and minnows are effective but a faster presentation moving a jig through the brush will trigger reaction bites. Catfishing remains great, though many smaller blues are moving in schools on ledges, flats, ditches, humps, and just about anywhere else on the main lake. Live and cut shad are effective baits, or you can target channel catfish in shallower humps in 15-25 feet of water using prepared baits. Bass fishing is still challenging, but as the water continues to cool, expect fish to move up into the backs of coves and creeks chasing gizzard shad. Smallmouth bass fishing along the bluffs has been productive with live shad, particularly near rocky points in 8-12 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Stripers can be caught early morning with topwaters along the banks especially under birds. Switch to slabs after the sun rises in 25 feet or less, but they can be deeper. The weather has cooled off and the lake is turning over creating tough fishing conditions. This will trigger fish to start feeding up for the winter. Seagulls should migrate through during the next couple of weeks, and some days terns are working. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Numbers of crappie can be caught but very few keepers.
