FISHING REPORTS FROM THE GUIDES

Lake Tawakoni: Guide Michael Littlejohn of tawakoniguideservice.com reports that fishing continues to be good for white bass and hybrid stripers. The fish are still carrying eggs and are moving around a lot. Most fish are being caught in 2-25 feet of water. Swimbaits are currently out-fishing slabs. Search shallow flats early, then transition to structure such as points, ledges and humps after 9 a.m. The best color is chartreuse. Fish are spooky around the boat, so use your trolling motor around schooling fish, and you will increase your catch.

Lake Palestine: Guide Todd Froebe of toddfroebe.com reports the lake is high, making shooting docks tough, so he is fishing main lake timber in 18-25 feet of water. The shad are spawning in the tops of those trees, and the crappie are sitting anywhere from 4-16 feet deep feeding on them. He is staying 20-30 feet back from the fish and casting to them with ¼-ounce hand-tied jigs.

Eagle Mountain Lake: Guide Chad Ferguson of txcatfishing.com reports the blue catfish and channel catfish bite is good to excellent. He said fish are being caught at just about any depth with shallower fish being caught while anchored and deeper fish being caught on light tackle rigged with punch bait. The bite changes quite a bit, so keep watching your sonar because the fish are moving and every day is bringing something different.
