I fished the lake on 05/22/22 for the final Team Trail Outdoors TX Kings of Cowtown Qualifying Event. It was overcast all day with a very strong northwest wind and temperatures in the mid 60's all day, as a big cold front had come through the night before the event and dropped the temperature about 30 degrees. The lake had between 4 to 12 inches of visibility and was between 75 and 78 degrees all day. After catching a few smaller fish cranking shallow rock banks early, we were able to catch some really good fish offshore throughout the rest of the day on underwater road beds and rock points in 6-15 feet of water, focusing on stretches with the wind blowing into them and just cranking them as hard as we could. This pattern was good enough to produce a 5 fish limit weighing 23.45 pounds for us, including a 7.5 pound big bass, which ended up winning us the tournament. I have included a photo of our winning bag below. It has been very windy across Texas lately but the bite has been hot, so get out there and get on them, but be careful! The fish are starting to move out from the spawn and will be setting up good for mid-depth and deep cranking, as well as dragging things like big worms and carolina rigs or drop shots. Thank you all for reading, tight lines!

I fished a Friday Night working man's tournament with a buddy on the lake on 04/08/22. We spent the evening targeting laydowns, rock, brush, and dock walkways on 45 degree angled banks in the many marinas of the lake, flipping and skipping a Strike King skipping jig into hard to reach places. We were able to come away with the victory in the tournament with a 3 fish limit for 13.63 pounds, and I was able to win big bass with an 8.08 pound female (all pictured below). The water temperature on the lake that night ranged from 58 to 62 degrees, with outside temperatures in the mid 50's and a very strong northwest wind. The water clarity on the lake ranged from a few inches of visibility up to about a foot and a half of visibility. The fish were all prespawn but are very close to spawning, so be on the lookout for beds on your next trip out to the lake!

I fished the lake on 04/03/23 for a few hours in the afternoon to check and see what stage of the spawn the fish were in. It was about 90 degrees outside with a steady southwest wind at about 15-18 mph, and little to no clouds in the sky. The water temperature across the lake ranged from about 60 to 70 degrees, with 63 degrees being the average. The water clarity ranged anywhere from about 8 inches of visibility to about a foot and a half of visibility. I spent the day targeting bed fish and cruising late pre-spawn fish in the backs of flatter pockets along banks with flooded brush where they were spawning/fanning beds. The bite was overall pretty tough, as I didn't catch many fish besides the ones I could see on the beds or hovering around the middle of the flat pockets suspended just under the water. However, despite only having around 7 bites all day, the quality was there, as my best 5 went for about 19 pounds, including 2 5 pounders (one pictured below). I caught all of these fish sight fishing with a texas rigged white K.O. Baits twin tail grub (check them out on instagram @k.obaits) and a strike king rage menace grub, as well as a yamamoto senko on a wacky rig for the more finicky fish. For the texas rig I had it on 15 pound Seaguar InvizX with a 3/8 Oz WOO! Tungsten Neverchip Flipping Weight, pegged with a WOO! Tungsten Stopper Peg, and on a 3/O Mustad KVD Grip Pin Soft Plastics Hook. I throw it on a 7'0" Denali Rods Android Med-Hvy Fast Rod, with an 8.0:1 Gear Ratio Ardent Apex Lightning Reel. For the wacky rig I was using a Mustad TitanX Weedless Wacky/Neko Hook in size 1, on a 12 pound InvizX leader spliced to a 20 pound Seaguar Smackdown Braid Mainline in the stealth grey color. I use a 7'0" Medium Moderate Ryker Series Rod from Denali Rods and a 3000 size Ardent Bolt Spinning Reel with a 6.0:1 gear ratio. I did not catch any fish deeper than 5 feet, and some of the fish were extremely difficult to catch as they were bedding up underneath overhanging trees in inches of water, and you had to really be paying attention to even see them. Then, once you finally did see them, you had to make extremely difficult casts repeatedly to the bed to catch them. So, if you want to practice your casting and skipping, get out on Lewisville right now! Thank you all for reading my reports and tight lines!
