Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 31)

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.97 feet above pool. Striper fishing is excellent, with milder temperatures lingering and fish continuing to take live bait exceptionally well. They’re being found on deep flats and ledges in 35-60 feet of water. Soft plastics are also working and will become even more effective as the temperatures drop. Keep an eye out for gulls on the main lake and pelicans in the coves to locate active fish. Fish are very healthy and full of shad heading into the colder months. Catfishing has slowed as fish move toward the rivers with the inflow of water. Drift flats in 25-45 feet of water using gizzard shad or cut rough fish. Smaller blues are still schooled along the bluffs in 30-50 feet of water. Use your electronics to locate active crappie on brush and structure near coves and points in 18-25 feet of water. Hair jigs and small shad will produce great results. For bass fishing, look for fish moving off points to secondary ledges and humps. Use plastics and slow-moving baits off the banks in 8-15 feet of water. On sunny days, target rocky coves, as bass will pull up to feed in the warmer shallows. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good with Alabama rigs or swimbaits in 10-15 feet of water, and deadsticking in deeper water. Birds are working most days. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
