Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 6)

FAIR. Water clear; 62-66 degrees; 4.23 feet below pool. Fishing patterns are holdin steady. Bass are good and should only improve as the water cools. Bass are in three stages with catches up to 8 pounds. Shallow bass are in 2-6 feet of water biting spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and rattletraps. Bass in 10-18 feet of water can be caught using a big crankbait, Texas or Carolina rig worm. Deeper bass can be found in 22-28 feet of water on spoons, dropshots and any kind of deep diving bait. Few reports of crappie this time of year while fish are scattered in deep water chasing bait deep. The crappie should start to group up in the coming weeks. Catfish are slow. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
