Fishing Report from TPWD (May 28)

FAIR. Water stained; 78 degrees; 0.19 feet above pool. Stripers continue to be slow and live bait is your best bet or something that makes lots of noise like a rattletrap. Expect the bite to remain slow due to the muddy water. Sand bass are fair to slow in 15-25 feet of water on main lake points with small slabs, white and silver are both good colors. Some can be caught on chrome. Catfish are good in 2-10 feet of water with cut shad off 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. Water clarity is less than 1 foot on the north end, but the south end is slightly better but still heavily stained. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
