Palestine Fishing Report
- Jun 26, 2024
- GOOD. Water slightly stained; 89 degrees; 0.22 feet above pool. The combination of clear skies, light winds, and hot weather is raising the thermocline level. This weekend it should be between 13-16 feet in many areas of the lake, with the possibility of local warm-water turnovers. Some crappie guides are seeing the fish move out of the deeper water returning to 8-12 feet areas to feed. All species remain fair to good, favoring early and late bites. Minnow anglers should protect their live bait for the next month, by using on board, insulated and aerated containers. Also consider carrying extra ice on board to cool the fish in the live well, or an alternate suggestion is to put the keepers directly into a cooler with ice.
