Coleto Creek

SLOW. Water stained; 91 degrees; 2.40 feet above pool. The water remains stained with temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s, and the lake is near normal pool level. Bass fishing is very slow, while crappie are fair, with decent action coming off brush piles. Report by Scott Springer, Fish Choke Canyon Lake

Corpus Christi Lake

SLOW. Water stained; 81 degrees; 16.80 feet below pool. Good morning from Lake Corpus Christi. The lake is currently 13.5 percent full, relying mainly on inflow from the Neuces River and its watershed, and years of drought and industrial growth have contributed to low water levels. The water temperature is 79 degrees, with current air temperature around 77 degrees under overcast skies that are expected to clear later today. Winds are from the east-northeast at 8 miles per hour with gusts up to 12 miles per hour, and no rain is expected until a slight chance this weekend. Recent fishing reports have been slow, with locals noting a few big catches. Some luck has come from fish traps catching small perch and minnows, while visiting anglers from Beeville tried catfish bait - likely a strong-scented commercial putty - to draw in bites. Catfish remain a good target thanks to their exceptional sense of smell and taste, able to detect scents from remarkable distances. Although catches have been light, anglers reported a few bites, possibly from fish or even turtles, suggesting some activity despite slow conditions. Report by Glenwood Weber, Weber's Landing

Falcon

GOOD. Water stained; 87 degrees; 47.02 feet below pool. Conditions remain steady overall, with no major changes in fishing activity. The only noticeable difference is that water levels are slowly dropping. Report by Ram Reyes, Ram Outdoors

Texana

GOOD. Water stained; 78 degrees; 4.05 feet below pool. Catfishing is good, while crappie are fair in the north section of the lake. Current lake elevation is 40.40 feet. Report by Chad Kinsfather, Lavaca Navidad River Authority.
