Casitas is in easing into summer mode, and the bass bite is one of the best in the region right now. Anglers are reporting high numbers of 1 to 3 pound fish, with plenty of big ones (6+), showing up as well. Shad are active throughout the lake, and bass are starting to really dial in on schools. Small swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and topwater baits (poppers, walking baits) are all producing, especially during low-light periods. Glide baits have accounted for two of the biggest fish this week (7 and 8 pounders).

Finesse soft plastics like Roboworms, flukes, and Senkos are also working well fished near submerged structure or depth transitions, but mostly for smaller fish. Bass are being picked off all throughout the water column, from the shallows down to 30 feet.

The crappie bite has slowed, but still remains worth targeting. Jigging around submerged brush and cover is what's getting them. Bluegill action is wide open, they seem to be everywhere, perfect for limits or kid fishing.
