Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 4)

GOOD. Water stained; 58 degrees; 1.14 feet above pool. Striper fishing continues to be great with live shad producing limits of fish on points and humps in 25-40 feet of water as fish are coming to the boats to feed. Swimbaits are also working on shallow points and humps off creek ledges in 5-12 feet of water. Catfishing remains great with cooler temps and lake levels up. Drift cut shad on deep flats off the river channels closer to the ends of the lake in 25–55 feet of water. Eaters are still plentiful along ledges and on flats in 40–50 feet of water on cut shad and prepared baits. Crappie are showing up on brush and below docks. Use electronics to locate active fish and hair jigs to catch them. Start looking in coves in 10–15 feet of water and at the mouths of the creeks. Bass fishing is good on plastics off the banks in 5–12 feet of water. Crankbaits are effective throughout the day off the rocks and around docks. There are still a lot of small shad in the lake, so match the hatch for numbers. Big bass will be looking for larger baits as the water cools off. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are excellent with daily limits on slabs under the birds. It is that time of year that deadsticking will catch fish. Target ledges and drop-offs in 10-60 feet of water. Fishing is extremely good on days with cloud coverage. On sunny days the best bite is early in the morning and the last few hours of daylight. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
