Lavon Fishing Report

Jun 26, 2024

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 76 degrees; 7.82 feet above pool. Crappie are scattered in 10-30 feet of water. Seeing more in 10-20 feet on timber and bush hitting minnows and jigs. Color does not matter, you just need to match the profile the fish are feeding on. If you have live scope and they keep nosing down, put on a smaller profile jig. You will start seeing a whole bunch of tiny baits and clouds over the structure you are fishing. This tiny bait is what they are munching on a lot of the time. So 1/32 ounce jig head and something small for the tail should get it done. There is a specific lift you sometimes need to do a lot when crappie fishing, it is basically playing keep away with the fish on live scope. You drop down to the fish, touch them on the head with your jig then lift up slowly while keeping a gap between the fish and the jig. If fish come up and touch the jig they will usually go right back down after discovering it is not real. Only lift a half mile an hour. Fish can do short spurts of 10 miles an hour, so if they want the jig, they are going to eat it. White bass are busting on quarter inch shad fry. When sandies are on the move use 3-4 inch swimbaits, otherwise 1 ounce slabs will be good. One day fish are on shallow points, and the next day they are deep in 20-30 feet of water. There is a sediment line down at about 27 feet in some parts of the lake. We turned on the Bobo's Thumper and it took about 10 minutes and fish finally showed up. When the white bass vanish the yellow bass show up like a clean up crew to feed on the remnants. When they show up normally we leave, but a few white bass can be caught. Black bass are on submerged and flooded brush with worms, senkos, white and chartreuse spinnerbaits. Slow down when you catch one because they are schooling together. Channel catfish are still going strong in flooded brush near rocky bottoms. Chicken liver shed, earthworms or punch bait under a bobber as close to the bushes as you can get it without getting snagged. Report by Carey Thorn, White Bass Fishing Texas.
