Tips: November is a month where Lake Fork fish are feeding up before it gets cold. The crappie bite is very good, and my brush piles pay off big time! The best depth for November crappie will be 18 to 24 feet and I can catch them on both minnows and jigs. My best color for the colder water is always electric chicken (green/pink). The bite will be aggressive so the most inexperienced fisherman can catch fish. The north end of the lake has started cooling off more than the southern end, so I try to fish the brush piles that has the warmer water. Best areas for this will be Little Caney, Dale, Ray and Chaney. Cold fronts now can be a factor in where you fish, and all these areas will have places to get out of the wind. I furnish everything for your trip so just come get in my boat and go fishing. With a 22-foot bay boat I can handle 4 adults on a trip.

Tips: Fish up and down this bayou paying particular attention to the bends and cuts in it. Bass will gang up at the mouths of those cuts and bends, schooling throughout the day. I usually stick with shad or white colors this time of the year. The current coming down the bayou helps hold the bass and shad in place from day to day but if there is no current the bass/shad schools may roam in those areas daily.

Tips: “The hybrid stripers will begin to school along ledges by the river channel this time of year. 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. Live shad will be the bait of choice in deeper water, but the swim shad will work if 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 feet of water and tomorrow they may be in 40 feet of water. It all depends on the schools of shad. Good luck and good fishing!

Tips: The lake is cooling off and the crappie bite is very good, as they feed up for the winter months. Brush pile fishing in 19-26 feet of water will be the best places to catch a mess of slabs. Another good place will be the 154, 515 east and west bridges around the bridge structure. Look for the crappie to be suspended in the 20 foot range. There are a series of humps around the damn area in 26-30 feet range that will also be good crappie fishing. I like to use a 1/8 oz. jig head for the fall fishing. As the crappie go deeper I will up the size of the jig head.

Tips: “November is one of the best times to fish for Largemouth Bass here on Lake Livingston. I love to fish the river channel near Riverside. For lack of better words, I call it just ‘good ole fashion river fishing.’” A couple of things need to fall in place. November weather can be finicky. Fishing days with a warming trend and a south wind are always better. Look for the water level at Riverside to be around 131’ mean sea level. Under the right conditions in the fall the water here can be what we call “”low and green.”” Key in on cut banks with wood and rock. While the Bass fishing can be very good here this time of year you may find yourself to be the only boat on the water. Good luck fishing!

Tips: “November at Sam Rayburn is about finding shad schools to find the bass. The shad will be bunched up and constantly moving towards the backs of creeks. Shad imitating reaction baits will work best. Rayburn has lots of hydrilla that should be starting to recede deeper and the shad will be just above this deeper grass. A suspending a jerkbait could be the secret weapon to catch a late fall personal best.”

Tips: November is my favorite month of the year to be fishing on Toledo Bend. Besides the weather being pleasant with cool mornings and warm afternoons, the vista of the lake can be mesmerizing with the fall foliage and waterfowl migration. Besides soaking in all the glorious surroundings of nature, the fish will be feeding like crazy bulking up for winter. On the north end of the lake the crappie will start moving and bunching up along the ledges of the river channel. Use your electronics to locate the bait fish and natural cover or drop your own brush tops. As the water temperature falls the crappie will move deeper. Either shiners or jigs will load up an ice chest full of crappie. If the lake is high and the stumps are under water, it’s hard to stay over your brush tops in order to catch your fish. If you want to make your fishing time more productive, invest in a hands-free trolling motor with “Spot Lock” technology like the MinnKota I-Pilot. You’ll be glad you did.

Tips: Stripers and sand bass are staging in the mouths of major creeks on Whitney, gorging on shad, as they try to migrate out of the creeks. Live Threadfin shad are working this time of year, fished straight down below the boat at 22’ on a Carolina rig. The way we are catching them is on artificial baits like the Storm wild-eyed shad and Striper Sniper jigs and chartreuse Snake Worm trailers. Cast out 30 feet behind the boat and turn your trolling motor on medium speed. Drag baits behind the boat in the mouth of the creek and hump just out from creek. Stripers have baits pushed up in the mouth of Big Rocky, gorging on them, so this is a great ambush point. BANK ACCESS: Walling Bend.

Tips: This month the crappie and white bass have scattered all over the lake and are not easy to catch. If you try crappie, fish the river and creek channels. Otherwise, now is a good time to fish for blue cats to stock up your freezer. Use jug lines baited with some type of cut bait, shad, or Zote soap. I like to use 11/0 Tuna circle hooks and put two on each jug line. I put one about 4 to 6 feet from the top and one 4 to 6 feet from the bottom.

Tips: Most of the summer weather is starting to move out and the lowering temperatures and great fishing make October one of the best times of the entire year to be on the lake. The white bass are excellent on main lake points in 25-40 feet of water. I like to use a 1 oz., white and chartreuse slab jigged off the bottom where there is a school of feeding fish waiting to eat. The crappie can be found on structure at the same depths as the whites. The bigger crappie are starting to feed better than they have the past few summer months, making it a lot easier to fill the cooler. Jigs are working well but minnows will be your most consistent bait. When you find a brush pile holding fish you can usually catch quite a few in one spot as long as you fish it diligently and work all around the pile including the edges and different depths of higher or lower brush.

Tips: November is the month we begin our catfishing for “eater size” blues and channels. We focus on the timber in the Crab Creek area on the Richland Creek arm and use Danny Kings Punch Bait on a # 4 treble hook to catch almost 100% of the catfish we catch. Sometimes we bait an area with sour grain but most of the time we’re fishing in the timber where the “water turkeys” roost and it’s already chummed for us! Catfish can be found in depths as shallow as 15 feet or as deep as 30 feet and will be caught on or near the bottom most days. Hold on to your rod as it’s not unusual to hook into a monster blue cat while fishing for these 2 lb. to 5 lb. fish! Catfishing is best in the fall and winter months and RC is loaded with them!

Tips: Time to look for birds and slabbin.’ Try to time trips in front of the cold fronts for best fishing. Beside chasing birds, look on the 20- and 30-foot breaklines for natural travel highways for the fish. Sometimes you won’t mark but one or two fish, but you turn around on the trolling motor and that depth will light up with plenty of fish—so take your time. Stripers will be mixed with the white bass and, if you are live bait fishing, you could have five to six species by the end of a trip. Live bait is always best, but this time of year jigging and slabbin’ work great.

Tips: November at Lake Austin can be somewhat tricky because of feeding patterns of the bass. Some days they will bite just about anything they find and some days it’s hard to get them to eat.

Tips: This area has a good break lines and is convenient to shallow water for crowding baitfish. Work slowly moving up and down the break lines while watching your electronics and look for schools of fish breaking the surface. Fall fishing can be one of the most productive times of year. In the fall, bass and crappie chase baitfish into the shallower water, so finding wind protected coves just might be an excellent choice. Following the cove’s creek structure, cover and secondary points should yield good results.

Tips: This month people are both hunting and fishing! November is the best of both worlds. This time of year, I think the late morning and afternoon bite is more active.

I like pitching a spinnerbaits right along the edges anywhere there is structure or preferably a nice little drop off or even up on some little flats. This is especially true if there is any hardwood laying around. Early morning, go deeper with crankbaits, Rat-L-Traps or Carolina rigs.

TIPS: Slowly fish a Carolina or Texas-rigged craw worm or a jig with a soft plastic trailer on the drop-offs around the islands in this area. Topwater lures can produce some fish during the early morning hours around the brush but most fish will be deep along the edges off the drop-offs during the day.
