Lavon Fishing Report

Jul 9, 2025

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 80 degrees; 0.45 feet above pool. Bass are great in 3-6 feet of water on hard structure and flooded solitary brush and stumps with shallow square bill crankbaits in crawfish red. The best bite is from 6-9 a.m. Crappie can be caught in 7-9 feet of water on laydowns, or on deep piles in 25 feet. The bite is inconsistent, but the fish are huge. Best bite is on minnows, hair jigs, and 1/16 ounce soft plastics. If fish are nosing down and avoiding the lure or bait, downsize the jig to a 1/32 ounce or smaller. Match the shad hatch which is just about an inch long right now. White bass are excellent with catches of 14-15 inch fish possible. Target main lake points in 10-20 feet of water. If there is a lot of bait in the area, the sandies are there somewhere. When the fish surface cast topwaters, but throwing a swimbait can catch bigger fish. Smaller fish cannot get their mouth around the hook gap on a quarter ounce lead head. Also, if you throw a topwater bait, there are two dangling travel hooks that you have to deal with versus one on a swimbait. If fish are not surfacing use a 1 ounce white slab. Channel catfish are good on baited holes in 5-15 feet of water with punch bait, chicken liver, shad one to two cranks off the bottom or under a bobber if in shallow water.
