Recent Lake Reports

Alamo Lake By WB Staff At Alamo Lake (report courtesy of Sportsman’s Warehouse), the morning bass bite has been great, and anglers are hooking into some plus size fish. Target shallow structure with Senkos and spinnerbaits. For crappie, the larger fish have been caught at night using light bars off the side of the boat. Catfish are being caught from shore using night crawlers.

Bartlett Lake By WB Staff At Bartlett Lake, angler Gary S. was catching bass drop shotting a 5150 pink worm. Most were caught at 18-19 feet deep, a couple around 10 feet, nothing shallow. Water temp was 65 degrees. No really big fish, but a lot of fun.
