- Amistad
- FAIR. Water slightly stained; 85 degrees; 69.81 feet below pool. Black bass fishing is fair on main lake points and secondary points 15-25 feet with deep water access are holding fish. Rattle traps, deep diving crank baits, jigs, Texas rigged senkos, hard jerkbaits, swimbaits and Ned rigs seem to do best. White bass are good on main river channels around birds chasing bait. Blades, small crankbaits, swim jigs, rattle traps and spoons can load the boat. Stripers are fair in 40-70 feet on deep water ledges using Bucktail jigs, flutter spoons, Alabama rigs are catching some nice fish. Keep your lines tight and catch a big one!
