Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 22)

FAIR. Water stained; 48 degrees; 1.02 feet below pool. Striper fishing is good on flukes in deep water around 60-80 feet, look for bait and fish near them. Swimbaits are working on structure and humps in 15-35 feet of water slow rolled across the bottom. Crappie are in 18-25 feet of water near drop-offs and rocky points. Jigs tipped with a minnow using electronics to locate active fish. Bass fishing can be caught with soft plastics off main lake points and creek points off the banks. Look for structures and flats with stumps in 8-12 feet of water. Catfishing is slow, look for bigger fish to be near the rivers and on shallow flats in 10-25 feet of water. Drift whole gizzard shad and anchored up casting off ledges and drop offs. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Prefrontal patterns should resume as the weather warms after the cold front. Striped bass can be caught on Alabama rigs or shad on structure in 15-25 feet of water. When this bite ends, the bigger fish are being caught in deeper water deadsticking or with Alabama rigs. There are fewer birds working. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
