Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 17)

FAIR. Water stained; 80 degrees; 1.05 feet below pool. Stripers are slow to fair with live bait in 20-40 feet of water. Put your baits down in areas that you have marked fish recently and slowly move around with your trolling motor. You will bump into smaller schools of fish, but it will take patience while you wait for a bite. Sand bass are still fair to good moving quickly in 5-10 feet of water on main lake points and sand flats. Chrome and white seem to be out producing all other colors. Catfish are still fair to good with shad in 10-20 feet of water fished on the bottom. Baited holes are your best bet to catch numbers but will not produce big fish. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Catfish should be spawning, so expect a slower bite. Water clarity is 2-6 feet of visibility but slowly becoming clearer. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service. The fall transition is in full swing, and fish are on the move! That means staying on top of the bite can be tricky, but the action has been worth the effort. Water temperature is 77 degrees with 3-4 foot visibility. The striper and white bass bite has been strong this week. Fish are stacking up on shallow points in 10–20 feet, with sporadic surface feeding early and late when there’s a little wind. Slab spoons, swimbaits, and downriggers are all producing, so keep a mix of gear ready. The eating size 1–3 pound catfish bite is absolutely on fire. Limits are coming in fast, often within just a few hours, using punch baits and dip baits. For channels and blue catfish baited holes in 20–25 feet near points and flats are paying off. The crappie bite has picked up nicely. Minnows are the go-to in 12–20 feet of water around structures and brush. Largemouth bass are crushing topwater at first light, then shifting to shallow crankbaits around dock legs as the sun climbs. Shaky heads are producing steady catches as well. Once the sun gets higher, a Texas-rigged
