Bastrop
GREAT. Water stained; 80 degrees. Bass are good working the discharge early and often will get bites with small swimbaits, worms and crankbaits. Look for any rock piles and work those good with shaky head jigs and Texas rigged plastics like finesse worms and creature baits. Cranking the dam and throwing flukes and worms off the reeds work as well. They are just about going to start schooling so be ready with a small topwater and swimbait to throw to those. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs. Bass are schooling offshore in the main lake hitting clear topwaters, shad colored squarebill crankbaits, or Alabama rigs rolled extremely slow off the bottom. Some bass can still be caught early and late in the day in the reeds and grass. As we enjoy a weekend of fishing we salute and honor our Nation¡¯s heroes this Memorial Day.

Belton
FAIR. Water stained; 77 degrees; 2.31 feet below pool. Big changes were brought on this past week with unseasonably hot days and nights bringing the water temperature up quickly and nudging us toward summer patterns. The water is warming rapidly and the fishing is getting tricky. There is a definite transition underway in which the white bass are making use of the bottom less and less and are beginning to suspend routinely. There are two drivers for this: stratification of the water by temperature which will eventually lead to the creation of the thermocline by mid-June, and the increasing presence of young-of-the-year shad making their way into open water. When fish are suspended, I rely heavily on my 2-D sonar, traditional sonar or colored sonar, as the three-dimensional cone it makes use of extends the echo signature of the fish into long arches which are larger and much more easily seen on a screen then the shorter rice grain signatures seen on side-imaging and down-imaging. The MAL Heavy with silver blade and chartreuse tail has been a consistent lure for the past three weeks. It shows up remarkably well on forward-facing sonar and 2-D sonar. Drop below the suspended fish and crank it up at a steady cadence at least two cranks above the fish showing highest in the water column. Report by Bob Maindelle, Holding the Line Guide Service. Catfish are good. Anglers can find blue catfish around points and sand flats in 10-20 feet of water. Larger fresh cut baits have been effective for trophy size fish. Eater fish under 10 pounds are active and slow drifting with small cut shad along sand flats will produce. Channel catfish are good and can be caught on punch bait in 10-25 feet of water. Flatheads are excellent on live bait in shallow water around river mouths. Report by Brian Worley, B&S Catfishing.

Cedar Creek
EXCELLENT. stained; 77 degrees; 0.02 feet full pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on using slabs on drop offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in depth of 5-14 feet. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinners and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck¡¯s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Shad spawn is nearing an end, but there continues to be a good early shallow bite on and around points and windy shoreline. Drifting in 15-25 feet of water is consistently producing bigger fish.

Report by Royce Simmons, Gone Fishin' Guide Service. Black Bass fishing is fair at this time. The water temperature is in the mid 70s and stained. There are always shallow fish with the available cover such as boat docks and grass. You can flip docks and use a frog and swim jig in the grass. This is also when you can start checking spots like points and hard structure. These places are before they get in their summer locations. Humps and long points can be good right now. I like to start using a Carolina Rig, Football Jig, and a 10 inch power worm in brush piles. Spend time with your electronics in search of these kinds of spots near spawning coves in 10-13 feet is a good depth to catch some big post spawners. Good Fishing, Terry Hawkins Guide Service.

Tawakoni
GOOD. Water lightly stained; 80 degrees; 0.58 feet above pool. We are seeing a major pattern shift as high temperatures climb into the mid 80s through the month of May. Striper and white bass are finishing up their spawn and are feeding on large schools of threadfin shad on main lake points and humps. The best way to target these fish are with slab spoons and swimbaits. Sometimes you will see feeding seagulls but mostly these fish are down on the bottom in depths ranging from 17-35 feet. The eating size channel catfish and blue catfish bite is wide open. May is one of the very best months of the entire year to catch limits of eating sized catfish. Bait holes with range cubes in 20 feet and use cheese based punch baits with reliable success. The crappie bite improves daily. Jigs are doing well in 10-20 feet on natural standing timber, and early in the morning under the bridges. Report by Captain Michael Littlejohn, Lake Tawakoni Guide Service.
