I fished the lake on 04/03/23 for a few hours in the afternoon to check and see what stage of the spawn the fish were in. It was about 90 degrees outside with a steady southwest wind at about 15-18 mph, and little to no clouds in the sky. The water temperature across the lake ranged from about 60 to 70 degrees, with 63 degrees being the average. The water clarity ranged anywhere from about 8 inches of visibility to about a foot and a half of visibility. I spent the day targeting bed fish and cruising late pre-spawn fish in the backs of flatter pockets along banks with flooded brush where they were spawning/fanning beds. The bite was overall pretty tough, as I didn't catch many fish besides the ones I could see on the beds or hovering around the middle of the flat pockets suspended just under the water. However, despite only having around 7 bites all day, the quality was there, as my best 5 went for about 19 pounds, including 2 5 pounders (one pictured below). I caught all of these fish sight fishing with a texas rigged white K.O. Baits twin tail grub (check them out on instagram @k.obaits) and a strike king rage menace grub, as well as a yamamoto senko on a wacky rig for the more finicky fish. For the texas rig I had it on 15 pound Seaguar InvizX with a 3/8 Oz WOO! Tungsten Neverchip Flipping Weight, pegged with a WOO! Tungsten Stopper Peg, and on a 3/O Mustad KVD Grip Pin Soft Plastics Hook. I throw it on a 7'0" Denali Rods Android Med-Hvy Fast Rod, with an 8.0:1 Gear Ratio Ardent Apex Lightning Reel. For the wacky rig I was using a Mustad TitanX Weedless Wacky/Neko Hook in size 1, on a 12 pound InvizX leader spliced to a 20 pound Seaguar Smackdown Braid Mainline in the stealth grey color. I use a 7'0" Medium Moderate Ryker Series Rod from Denali Rods and a 3000 size Ardent Bolt Spinning Reel with a 6.0:1 gear ratio. I did not catch any fish deeper than 5 feet, and some of the fish were extremely difficult to catch as they were bedding up underneath overhanging trees in inches of water, and you had to really be paying attention to even see them. Then, once you finally did see them, you had to make extremely difficult casts repeatedly to the bed to catch them. So, if you want to practice your casting and skipping, get out on Lewisville right now! Thank you all for reading my reports and tight lines!

Cranking was the deal this morning. With water temp around 60 and water clarity clear with a slight stain. The fish were moving around like crazy getting ready for spawn! I threw a variety of crankbaits and each of them worked around rip rap. Definitely look for rip rap because it heats up easier and holds heat better than mud banks.

I fished a Friday Night working man's tournament with a buddy on the lake on 04/08/22. We spent the evening targeting laydowns, rock, brush, and dock walkways on 45 degree angled banks in the many marinas of the lake, flipping and skipping a Strike King skipping jig into hard to reach places. We were able to come away with the victory in the tournament with a 3 fish limit for 13.63 pounds, and I was able to win big bass with an 8.08 pound female (all pictured below). The water temperature on the lake that night ranged from 58 to 62 degrees, with outside temperatures in the mid 50's and a very strong northwest wind. The water clarity on the lake ranged from a few inches of visibility up to about a foot and a half of visibility. The fish were all prespawn but are very close to spawning, so be on the lookout for beds on your next trip out to the lake!

I went out for a little bit after work and stuck some big pre spawn fish. The water temps are about 57 and the water clarity is clear with a slight stain. I love this War Eagle finesse jig all times of the year and it definitely produces fish. I fished rip rap banks in around 5-8ft of water. Just throw it out there and slowly work it back! I generally run 17lbs line but I felt that the fish had seen a lot of pressure so I went down to 15lb. Good luck out there.

I went out to the lake on 02/28/23 to try and get on some bass with a buddy. It was about 75-80 degrees outside with a steady 8-10 mph south wind during the 4 hours I was out there in the early afternoon. The water temperature on the lake ranged anywhere from 53 to 59 degrees, and the water clarity ranged anywhere from 6 inches of visibility to a foot of visibility. We spent the day targeting rip rap banks with the wind blowing on them, with jigs, wacky rigs, and jerkbaits, and we picked up one bonus 3 pounder flipping flooded brush with a jig in the back of a smaller main lake pocket. The wacky rig and jig accounted for 4 of our best 5, as we were just blindly casting them along the rocks or flipping them into the brush and working them back to the boat. I was also able to pick up a good 4+ pound fish utilizing our livescope and a jerkbait. The fish was suspended under a ball of bait 4 feet down over 9 feet of water, and as soon as I put the jerkbait in front of him he slammed it! Overall it was a slower day with only 6 bites, but they were all the right size as our best 5 ended up going just shy of 16 pounds and featured a 4.47 and a 4.10. I have included a picture of our best 5 bag with the report. The lake is starting to heat up and the fishing is following suit, so be sure and get out there and wet a line! Thank you all for reading my reports and good luck!

The water temps are on their way up right now. The fish are still main lake looking for the big balls of shad. I found lots of fish holding on the bridge pilings waiting to ambush the bait. The water temp was around 52 degrees main lake and the bass were not moving around a lot. I landed many bass with this technique with my best 5 going around 15lbs. Water clarity was about .5-1’ of visibility.
