I ran a guide trip out on the lake the other day with a client who was wanting to dial in his sidescan and livescope. We spent a good chunk of the day doing that, and then had a little bit to fish afterwards. We targeted the floating tires at the mouth of the marinas, utilizing his now dialed in livescope to see fish swimming around in the openings of the tires or in the cables beside or underneath them. We would spot the fish on the livescope, and then flip the texas rig into the tires where they were and pull them out. We caught a few decent fish doing this, and then decided to go shallow and fish in the back halves of some of the smaller creeks in the area to see if any fish have started to push bait back into them for the fall shad migration. This technique produced a few smaller fish on a squarebill and a jackhammer, and then the biggest fish of the day (pictured) on a Texas rig caught by my client. All in all it was a slower day with only 8 or so bites, but we found a few of the right ones in the time we fished. The water temperature ranged from 65-69 degrees, and the water visibility ranged from about 6 inches of visibility to about 12 inches of visibility. There was a strong south wind at about 20+ mph, and clouds covered the sky for most of the day, except for a brief period in the morning where the sun was out and the wind was slightly calmer. Lewisville can be a tough lake to fish this time of year as the fish spread out with some fish staying on the main lake and suspending over deeper cover or underneath boat slips and tires, while other fish move back into the creeks in shallow water chasing bait, so you have to keep an open mind and be versatile to be successful this time of year. The fish we were catching on the tires were between 5-10 feet deep, while the fish we were catching in the creeks were in less than 3 feet of water along a rock bank. Thank you all for reading my reports, and tight lines!

Water temps have started cooling down and the water has turned over. The water temps when I was out were 63-65! The fish were smashing my spinnerbaits as I reeled them through the brush and timber. I was using the new Berkley Power Blade and Megabass SV-3. Definitely give them a try!

I fished a solo tournament on the lake on 10/22/23 and it was a grind. It was a mostly cloudy day with low temperatures in the morning starting in the high 60's and high temperatures reaching around 84 degrees by the end of the tournament. There was a light southeast wind at about 5-10 mph all day long, and the water temperatures on the lake ranged from 68 to 72 degrees, with about a foot to a foot and a half of visibility lakewide. I spent the day targeting semi-windy shallow rip rap areas near deep water on the main lake with a wacky rig and a chatterbait, and I was able to scrounge up 3 keepers for 8.35 pounds which got me 18th place out of 44 boats in the tournament, and moved me up from 24th place to 14th place out of 49 anglers in the trail's AOY race. I was also able to catch one really good fish, a 5.24 pounder which was the third biggest bass weighed in during the tournament (all pictured with the report). The fish on the lake are pretty scattered right now, with some fish already moving shallower and starting to follow shad into the creeks for the fall, and some still out on the main lake offshore. With the lake being almost 6 feet low, there isn't a whole lot of available shallow cover left to fish, so finding steeper rip rap banks seemed to be the key to finding shallow fish to catch. Working a weightless wacky rig and a chatterbait in these areas are what produced my bites, as I caught the 3 keepers I weighed in, and 2 more short fish throughout the entire day. The fishing on Lewisville is definitely a grind right now, but they still gotta eat and you can still go out and catch a few good ones! Good luck everyone on your next trip out to the lake, and tight lines!

When the water temps are around 70-80 degrees I love throwing the ZMan Stealthblade. It is an amazing lure when the fish have seen 10000 regular Jackhammer chatterbaits and want something a little bit different. I use the green pumpkin shad because it isn’t very intrusive in the water and is very realistic in the water. Try working the chatterbait around boat docks and chunk rock keeping the bait close to the floats and bottom for maximum bites. Good luck!!
