Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 8)

GOOD. stained; 55 degrees; 2.77 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass deadsticking bite is now in full swing! Use 1/2 ounce to 1-1/2 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes depending on what the winds are and drift long lengths of the lake in the deepest water 35-50 feet. Drift at speeds of .2-.6 mph using your drift mode on your trolling motor, or drift socks, or drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. Fish are suspended between 22-28 feet when deadstricking. Look for birds and loons early mornings on shallow flats as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudy cold days. Crappie bite has been tough with reports of fish being scattered. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Water temperatures are dropping again and should be in the low 50s soon. The recent rains have brought the water up and the water is stained. The catfish have moved into running water in front of the motor creeks but can also still be caught out deep with the same techniques. The shallow bite continues to be good for catfish along wind blown banks and points near the mouths of major creeks where the actual creek runs into the lake. Fish in 2-6 feet with fresh shad anchored on bottom. The deep bite is also good dragging bigger cut shad or rough fish in 15-30 feet drifting main lake flats. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
