Water levels are coming up fast after the latest storms, with Casitas now close to full pool. Temps are holding around 56–58 degrees, which has kept the bass active and should continue to do so as long as water stays in the mid-50s or higher. Most of the action has been deep, with fish holding roughly 30 to 40 feet down. Shad imitations are doing most of the work… swimbaits, underspins, and spoons, along with worms and Senkos, have all been producing. Electronics are a big help right now for dialing in structure and suspended fish.

Crappie have also been biting within that same depth range as bass, while a few catfish are being picked off the bank by anglers soaking mackerel.

The last trout plant was back in early November and reports have been quiet since, but another stocking is expected within the next couple of weeks.
