Ray Roberts Fishing Report
- May 24, 2023
- GOOD. Water is stained; 72 degrees; 0.20 feet above pool. Fishing patterns are holding steady as we head into the Memorial Day Weekend. White bass limits are good the first hour of daylight in 1-6 feet of water using ⅛ ounce jighead and three-inch paddle tail swimbait. When that bite tapers move to 20-25 feet of water with slabs. Blue catfish are starting to mix in with the sandies. Bass are good in shallow water with topwaters early in the morning, then soft plastics the rest of the day. Crappie are good with many undersized catches on brush piles in 12-20 feet of water. Report by Jim Walling, Ucatchem Guide Service. Anticipate heavy traffic on the lake this weekend with the Memorial Day holiday. This week is National Safe Boating Week, for more information check out Texas Parks and Wildlife online and search for “Boating Safety Tips.” Happy Memorial Day!
