I went out to the lake on Wednesday, November 20th with my buddy Kevin to try and get on some big Bois D'Arc fall bass in the forest. It was bright and sunny all day, with a strong northeast wind at 15 mph and gusting up to 25 mph for the majority of the day until the evening when it eventually completely laid down. The water temperature on the lake was 61 degrees lakewide and the water clarity was at about 1.5 - 2 feet of visibility with a slight green hue to it. We fished from noon to 5 PM, and concentrated our efforts way back in the forest on the west side of the lake, specifically targeting areas where creek channels ran through the timber. We would sit our boat in the channels and then fish all the timber and flooded brush on the edges of the channel in 2-6 feet of water, pitching a jig and texas rig as well as throwing a swim jig and chatterbait. The jig and texas rig got more bites, but the moving baits, especially the swim jig, caught the majority of our bigger fish. We caught 10 fish total, and our best 5 for the day went right at 17 pounds, anchored by a 5 pound even fish I caught on the swim jig (pictured with the report). The fall bite on Bois D'Arc right now is quite tough, as there is a lot of dead water on the lake, but if you can bushwack your way into the timber and find out where the creek channels snake through it, the fish are there and they are aggressive! Thank you all for reading my report and good luck on your next trip out!

Fish would hit about anything. Big ones were best caught on slow moving baits. Caught most on Evo Chatterbait as listed and Bandito Bugs.

TPWD did an excellent job at creating a new fishery in north Texas! Bass were fishing excellent in flooded brush with lots of vegetation. Green leafed trees seemed to hold them a little better than dead ones. Get out there while those fish still haven’t seen any pressure and baits. Can catch them in large schools up shallow. Flipped and drug around a 5” senko tx rigged. If not hitting on the fall, they would bite shortly after you pop it off the bottom. If you miss one or hook one and miss it you can flip right back and get them to eat again. Over all 30+ bass caught mostly in the 2lb range but was able to get quite a few over 4 easily.
