Belton Fishing Report

Nov 12, 2025

GOOD. Water normal stain; 71 degrees; 0.76 feet above pool. White bass fishing improves as the water temperatures continue to drop. The bite is running strongest from 7:45-10:50 a.m. Fish can be caught in high numbers fishing vertically out to 20 feet until 7:45 a.m., then move out to 35-45 feet. The MAL Dense with chartreuse tail fishing in conjunction with Garmin LiveScope and assisted by a slashing device. Once the catching at a particular area seems to go past peak, move to a new location even when fish are still showing on sonar. Keep an eye on the skies as the first gulls, terns, and loons should show before Thanksgiving. Lake Belton is producing high numbers of smaller fish, whereas nearby Stillhouse is producing lower numbers of larger fish. Afternoons are producing about 70-percent of the catch versus mornings. Report by Bob Maindelle, Holding the Line Guide Service. Catfish are excellent. Anglers can find blue catfish around sand flats and river channels in 10-20 feet. Larger fresh cut baits have been effective for trophy size fish. Eater fish under 10 pounds can be caught deadsticking with small cut shad along ledges and river channels. Channel catfish are great and can be caught on punch bait in 10-20 feet of water. Flatheads are good on live bait in shallow water around river mouths. Report by Brian Worley, B&S Catfishing.
