Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 11)

FAIR. Water normal stain; 65 degrees; 3.71 feet below pool. Bass are fair with shallow fish coming on rattle traps, swim jigs and swim baits. Mid range bass are in 8-14 feet with crankbaits and Texas rigs. The deeper bass bite has been hit-and-miss, but the forecasted cold weather should improve this bite. Cast spoons, tail spinners and dropshots in 20-26 feet. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
