TIPS: Fish the cypress trees on these lake flats in 2’-5’ of water. I like to cast and pitch the soft plastics to the base of the cypress trees that sit in areas that hold hydrilla. Colors of choice are black/blue, black/red flake, watermelon/red and junebug. Black/blue 1/2 oz. swimjigs thrown past the trees and swimming it past them can be a deadly presentation in the spring too. Most of my largest bass from Caddo Lake have come in April and May.

TIPS: “The hybrid stripers are schooling around ledges along the river channel. Find the schools of shad and you will find the hybrids. This time of year they will run shad up on these ridges during the day they will move deeper around the area. Find the depth the bait are in and you will find the fish. As the water temperatures drop they will be in the 30 to 40 foot depths. Live shad will be the bait of choice in deeper water but the swim shad will work as long as you can control your retrieve to keep the bait in the depth the fish are going to be in. The depths will vary from one day to the next, today they may be in 20 foot of water and tomorrow they may be in 40 foot. It all depends on the schools of shad. This is also a good time of year to find black bass schooled up feeding along channel edges and ledges. Once you find them they should be big. Carolina rigs worked extremely slow should do the job. Good luck and good fishing! Bank Access: Stowaway Marina”

TIPS: April bass fishing on Lake Fork is the time to catch the bass of a lifetime. Over the 18 years I have guided on Lake Fork I have seen more 10 pound plus bass caught by my clients in April than any other month. There are a lot of big females shallow in April and have one thing on their mind and that is to spawn. I do not bed fish for the big bass, in fact I fish deeper for the bigger bass than the 1-3 feet where you see a lot of bass show up. But over the years the bigger bass have gotten smart and will spawn deeper (4-7 ft.). That is where I look for the trophy bass. several places to look will be Burch Creek, Glade Creek, Running Creek and Oil Well Bay. Fish the areas protected from a strong north and south wind. Fish either Texas rig or Carolina rig very slow.

BEST BAITS: Bream imitating lures, top water lures such as poppers and plastic frogs
CONTACT: Lance Vick (903) 312-0609
lance@lakeforkbass.com
www.guideonlakefork.com
TIPS: “April is my favorite month to fish Lake Fork. I know I say that a lot but, really, April is the bomb! Why? Because it is top water season! There are more fish shallow than any other time
of the year. Fish are still spawning and lots of fish are guarding fry. Therefore, bream imitators are on top of the lure list. Poppers and soft plastic frogs are go to lures for awesome top water action. Poppers are best used in more open water areas around stumps and over submerged grass. On days with less wind, use frogs. Get busy when you are throwing in the junk, over emergent grass, under boat docks and around stumps. Remember when working the popper and the frog you will get three times the bites if you work the lure like a Zara Spook. Walking the dog, the zig zag side to side action, keeps the lure in the strike zone much longer than a straight pull with popping action. Remember to pause your lure around points of grass, stumps or corners of boat docks. Good fishin’ to all!”

www.toledobendguide.com
TIPS: The white bass will be moving back into the main lake returning from the river after their spawn. Work the north end river channel sand bars with slab spoons, Rat-L-Traps and shallow diving crank baits. Use your electronics to locate the baitfish and watch for the birds. You will find the whites. Try to locate a number of schools and rotate fishing those areas so as not to over fish one location. The whites will remain in those locations unless we have a weather change or the location is over fished.

www.gonefishin.biz
TIPS: The white bass spawn is normally over in March and the fish make their way to the main lake and go on an “eating frenzy.” You are likely to see top water action, have suspended fish that will bite Lil’ Georges, and you can always catch fish on slabs bumped off the bottom! April and May are the two easiest months of the entire year to get your limit (25 per fisherman) of whites on RC! It’s definitely the time of the year to get the kiddos, or adults who think like kids, out on the water! It’s all about family fishing fun!

TIPS: For bass, throw spinnerbaits and Rat-L-Traps along the weed lines. Bass fishing is especially good at the dam, by the banks and near the timber under the bridge. Crappie are under the bridge at night this time of year. Minnows and jigs are your best bet right now.

TIPS: Fish early at daylight around rocks and retaining wall areas near the mouth of all major coves and on main lake shoreline areas. Take large weighted float or bobber and fresh shad on a 1’ to 3’ leader with 2/0 to 4/0 circle or khale hook with no extra weight. Throw right against rocks or walls and be ready. There should be a shad spawn and lots of action in the best areas.

TIPS: This area has two very large humps surrounded by deeper water. During the spring the shad congregate around these humps and the sand bass follow. I find the shad and the fish on the electronics and jig straight up and down with a slab and fly and many times you will get a double. For people who like to cast. Fan cast over the humps with a Mepps spinner worked very slowly off the bottom.

BEST BAITS: Jig and pig, soft plastics and spinner baits.
CONTACT: Michael W. Acosta, Unfair Advantage Charters
817-578-0023
TIPS: Work your presentation around bedding areas/ seawalls and shallow structure. Small feeder creeks near housing additions will have numerous beds. The river above Granbury will also have blacks spawning in shallow flats off of creek channels. Black bass action is excellent is good on soft plastics worked near bedding grounds. Largemouths are on the beds in the backs of sloughs and creeks. Granbury water temperatures are in the 70’s. Spring patterns are in full force. Stripers are active and are moving upstream to attempt to spawn. White bass spawning is essentially ending and crappie are spawning in the shallows. Wintering Birds are still in place and are pointing anglers to active feeding fish on the main lake. Passing cool fronts/storm fronts continue to dominate the weather pattern. White bass and stripers are pushing baitfish to the surface and the birds will help. Jigs with soft plastics and jigging slabs continue to put stripers and sandbass in the boat. Catfish action is great on cut shad and hotdogs fished under deeper docks and creek entrances.

TIPS: “Now is the peak of the spawn for crappie. They can be found all over the lake in very shallow water next to the banks. All you need is a good crappie pole, preferably 10 feet long. Use a slip bobber rig and set it 12 to 18 deep depending on the water color and location. Last year on my best springtime trip, we had our bobbers set at 8 inches. That is how shallow the crappie were. Just keep trying different spots until you hit the jackpot. Good luck and good fishing.”

BEST BAITS: Minnows, White/chartreuse jigs, slabs
CONTACT: Justin Wilson
214-538-2780
TIPS: Spring is here and with the water temperature rising the fish are schooling up getting ready to spawn. Crappie bite is getting better each day. Lots of fisherman are starting to hit the creeks and that’s great but a lot of slab female crappie will stay and spawn on the main lake brush piles while the smaller fish move up shallow. This is my favorite time of the year to catch good quality fish on this lake. Bouncing around from pile to pile is a good way to fill the cooler. I will try a few different depths each day until I find a pattern for that day, as the month moves on and the temperature rises I tend to get a little bit shallower. The white bass bite is great at the mouth of creeks on nearby humps or ledges. There will be a day or two when it seems they have disappeared and it’s due to them moving up into the creeks, where a lot of walk in fisherman will absolutely slam them. White road runners and just about anything flashy will yield a high catch.

TIPS: “April on Lake Texoma. Spring fishing is in full swing. Thousands of stripers are staging and ready to run up the tributaries. The males go up river first and the large females are on the prowl. Egg-laden females will tip the scales at 20 pounds. Your best baits are soft plastics. The Zoom Fluke in the 5 length and 4 chartreuse Sassy Shad tails. Worm your tail on ¾ or 1 oz. jig head. Fish the cuts, main lake points and the mouths of feeder creeks. Structure like humps, ditches and ledges will hold schools of hungry stripers. Texoma has the largest white bass, commonly called sandies. We expect the record to fall in April. The lake holds 3-pound females. Sand bass with eggs should get close to 4 pounds. Our personal best was a 6-year old boy that landed a 19 inch 3.5 pound sandy. Top water fishing will begin the first week of April. Cast 6 Pencil Poppers and Zara Spooks on shallow banks. ”There is nothing more exciting than top water striper fishing on Lake Texoma with Striper Express,” says Jimmy Houston.”

TIPS: “One just has to love Lake Whitney in April and big sow stripers up shallow gorging on shad. The plop-plop of a top water bait methodically working in the shallows during the early morning peace and quiet, then “kaboom,” all heck breaks loose with a big linesider screaming drag as it tears through the shallows. That is exactly what is going on at Whitney and you ought to come get you some! Early on we are throwing a couple of different baits starting out with Pencil Poppers and Redfins, running them on top and producing some awesome blowups in the shallows. After the sun comes up a little or on those days they just don’t seem to want them on top we are switching over and using the A-Rigs and umbrella rigs loaded with Striper Snipers Lemon Lime Snake Worms. We are also catching with chartreuse swim baits and RSR lure’s 1/2 oz. jig heads up in the shallows in places like between Whitney and Towash Creeks or the Willow Islands. As always may God bless you and hope someday soon to See Ya on the Water!“

TIPS: “In April the bass will still be chasing shad up the creeks and moving along the steep banks. The buck bass will also be moving into the flats to find a place to spawn. I will start by using shad colored crankbaits up Ince, Rocky, Gobbler, and Big Grape Creeks. I then will go to the steeper banks that are everywhere on Alan Henry. I will fish one far away with a shaky head jig. If I don’t get bit, I will keep moving until I find the fish. Most of the time the bass will be on the steep banks that the sun is directly hitting. I will still be looking for the warmest water in the lake which will require looking up several creeks. Also don’t forget to check the water far up the Brazos River.”

TIPS: The fish are spawning for the most part this month, even the shad are. Watch for any spring floods coming in and go to where the water is flowing if that happens because that where they will be to move upstream and spawn. threadfin shad are of course best bait this time of year then net best is anything resembling them. We copy them while trolling with bucktail jigs tipped with a “Mister Twister” curly tail. They can`t refuse them. Stripers, white bass and hybrids will be suspended and I like to target them a half foot above them. It helps with the wounded presentation and produces more violent strikes. Smaller baits for crappie and medium for bass striper and most everything else. We like to take a to four-inch bait cut his head and tail off fresh dead and worm it on the hook for best catfish results. So “Quit wishin’ and Go Fishin’!”

TIPS: April is usually a great month to bass fish. We can catch fish about any way we want to. The weather is usually good, the fish are very active and the bite is on. Anywhere you find fry you should find active fish. The top water bite should be great early morning or later evening. If it’s cloudy they will hit lures most all day. If it’s sunny go little deeper. Remember we are out there to enjoy. Take a friend or even a family member- heck, maybe even the wife? As always stay safe and enjoy!
