The fish were sitting in 4-5ft of water and sitting close to structure. The new swing head and crush city Ned’s are a great combo.

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!

The key today was small baits. The water temps just dropped almost 10 degrees in 2 days and the fish were really stubborn. I found most of the fish in around 15-30ft chasing bait fish around. They were more active than I thought they would be. Lake Lewisville fish generally like smaller baits so plan accordingly! Good luck!

I went out to the lake for about 4 hours or so in the mid afternoon until the sun went down. The water temperatures on the lake ranged from about 49 to 51.5 degrees fahrenheit and the water clarity was about 6 inches to a foot of visibility across the board with a slightly green hue to it. The bite was slow overall as I only got a few bites, but I was able to land some nice bass fishing a PB&J football jig with a "Purple Rain" colored twin tail grub from K.O. Baits (check them out on instagram @k.obaits, some of the best hand poured soft plastics out there!) and a Green Pumpkin Purple Menace Grub from Strike King as the trailer. I slowly dragged the jig off of rock points at the mouths of eventual spawning coves in about 15 - 20 feet of water, as this is the depth I saw the most baitish in while scanning over the points with my graphs. Baitfish being in or near each area was key, as I only got bites in areas that I saw a good amount of bait on the graphs as I graphed them before I fished them. I've attached a photo of the biggest fish from the trip, a solid 3.5 pounder that absolutely smoked the jig. The fishing is tough right now with all of the recent cold weather and rain, but there are still good ones biting, so get out there and get a line in the water! Thanks 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!
