Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 16)

GOOD. Water stained; 74 degrees; 1.05 feet above pool. The shallow bass bite is tough after the cold front and dropping water levels. The best bite has been in 8-14 feet on ledges and humps with a big worm on a Texas rig or Carolina rig. Fishing around the old timber as fish are using it for structure. Very little grass or lily pads so far. Crappie and catfish are moving shallow and deep as they spawn. The magic depth has been 4-12 feet with minnows under corks and around trees on the bedding fish. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
