Fishing Report

SLOW. Water stained; 71 degrees; 0.64 feet below pool. Catfish continue to be great on points, ledges, humps and structure using catfish Bubblegum, liver, worms or punch bait. Report by Brad Doyle, Bradley’s Guide Service. Bass are fair between fronts, often schooling around rock piles with active shad schools, making rattletraps a go-to for aggressive bites. In deeper waters, dark soft plastics and jigs are key for big fish. Murky waters? Try dark plastics like Texas-rigged worms. Medium-sized crankbaits, craws, and jigs shine in 6-15 feet depths. Do not miss spinnerbaits and crankbaits around boathouses, bridge pilings, and riprap. Report by Bryan Brawner, Lake Conroe Charters. Hybrids are in 12-23 feet of water on flats trolling with a pet spoon and a diver, or jigging MTPockets slabs. White bass have been running with the hybrids in some schools, so check the tooth patch for proper identification. Crappie are slow, having to hit many spots to get the hotties. Minnows are hit-or-miss, with some success using hair jigs from Lone Star Crappie Jigs and Stunna jigs, hair jigs are out producing plastic jigs. Crappie are in 1-22 feet of water on or close to structure. Always wear your life jacket. Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy Lake Conroe Guide.
