Amistad Fishing Report
- Jan 21, 2026
- GOOD. Water stained 58 degrees; 63.92 feet below pool. Winter has arrived with water temperatures finally dropping into the high 50s after several cold nights that have noticeably changed fishing conditions. Most bass are being caught on points and ledges near deep water, with slower-moving soft plastics and small minnow-style presentations producing best. While a 10 pounder was reported this week, the majority of bass being landed are in the 1-3 pound range. Crappie fishing has slowed as fish settle into a winter feeding pattern. Catfish remain deep in 60-80 feet of water with size 4-6 treble hooks baited with prepared punch bait and heavy sinkers ¾-¼ ounce are getting the job done. Report by Kurt Dove, Amistad Bass Guide
