Lake Ray Hubbard

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 19)

GOOD. Water stained; 45 degrees; 0.13 feet above pool. White bass are in big schools on the upper part of the lake before the I-30 bridge. Look for big bait balls in 20-34 feet of water with 3/4 ounce slabs with 2 jigs tied above working best spread at least 16 inches apart. Hybrids can be caught closer to the bottom with 1 ounce jig heads with 4 inch flukes. Drifting has been best with drift socks. Let your bait fall to 1-3 feet off the bottom then reel up to the fish. Large numbers of white bass are showing up in the feeder creeks above the lake. Small road runner type baits and small crappie jigs working. Crappie are fair and relating to brush 18-28 feet deep moving on and off structure and starting to roam the deep flats. Minnows working best. Catfish are good on the deep flats drifting cut shad, buffalo or carp. Blue catfish up to 25-30 pounds best on long drifts. Report by John Varner, John Varner's Guide Service.
