Buchanan Fishing Report
- Dec 4, 2024
- EXCELLENT. Water slight stain; 62 degrees; 15.58 feet below pool. Striper and white bass are all biting in 22-42 feet vertical jigging or slabbing, with ½-1 ounce spoons has been the best technique. Deadsticking soft plastics has produced some nice limits of stripers of the past week. Report by Travis Holland, TH Fishing. Starting to see some topwater action with striped bass, hybrids, and white bass. After the next front this action should increase. Catfish are good in 15-30 feet of water with cut shad and punch baits. Report by Captain Aaron Dick, One Up Fishing Guide Service. Crappie are fair on brush piles and standing timber in 20-25 feet of water with minnows. Blue and channel catfish are fair in 10-16 feet of water with punch bait. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Lake Buchanan bass fishing is great, and the colder the better on this lake. Work over rock piles in 5-15 feet of water with jigs, worms and swimbaits to get those bigger bites. A deep crankbait around the deeper rocks is a great choice. Topwaters are still catching some solid fish as well. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs.
