Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 62 degrees; 2.40 feet below pool. Spring started off with a freeze. Water temperature is running 59-63 degrees and the clarity is clear. Lots of bass are still spawning in 1-5 feet of water hitting wacky-worms and senkos. There are good numbers of bass starting to show up that have already spawned, these fish spawned on that February full moon. These fish can be caught on shallow running crankbait and Carolina rig lizards . With the next moon coming, there will be more bass on the move towards the back. This will keep going until the first of May. Crappie are good, but with the colder weather will delay it several days. The crappie are super picky due to the changing weather. Best baits have been roadrunners and jig heads with curl tail or tube. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
