These Are Some Great Places To Go Fishing Right Now In Texas

As fall continues in Texas, temperatures appear as though they may actually drop some going into the week of Thanksgiving, but as long as you've got a jacket, there is still plenty of fishing that you can do during the holiday.

In Texas, we have many great places to go fishing. Whether it's a neighborhood pond, the Gulf, or at your favorite lake, Texas has plenty of places to fish and have a great time. But how do you know where the fish are biting? Or at least where you have a better chance of catching something.

The answer is with this great guide from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Best Lakes to Fish At Right Now in Texas

The Texas Parks and Wildlife website updates each week their fishing report site. Fishing reports are normally updated by Thursday morning and the information is collected by a third party who spoke with fishing guides, marinas, and bait shops.

You can use the guide to help you find a good spot to fish at a Texas lake or in the Gulf. Here are some examples from this week.

Alan Henry

FAIR. 63 degrees; 4.24 feet below pool. Crappie are good in 25-35 feet over trees with minnows. Report by Randy Britton, The Bait Shop, Post, Texas.

Brownwood

GOOD. Water stained; 67 degrees; 2.72 feet below pool. Black bass to 4.25 pounds are good in 13-28 feet of water in the river with soft plastic minnow styled baits and juice box colored soft plastic creature bait. There is a good bite along the shoreline brush in 3-8 feet of water with bladed jigs, crankbaits and jigs. Crappie up to 14 inches are good on minnows and jigs in main lake scattered brush piles in 8-18 feet. White bass up to 1.25 pounds are slow on crappie jigs and crankbaits in the lights at night. Catfish are slow on juglines with cut shad or perch.

Grapevine

GOOD. Water stained; 65 degrees; 0.20 feet below pool. The morning bite has been best. There is sporadic bird action leading the way to birds. White bass are good but may slow after the midweek rain. Target sand bass in 12-15 feet of water near drop-offs with smaller imitation shad slabs fished off the bottom. Use white slabs if the water clarity becomes stained. Sand bass are getting ready to spawn so a smaller lure will work best. Bass and catfish are mixed in with the sandies. Report by Omar Cotter, Luck O'the Irish Fishing Guide Service.

Fall Is Still A Great Time To Fish In Texas

Now is still a great time to get out do some fishing. Sure, the temperatures are getting cooler, but that just means you might have to be a little more patient. Enjoy the great outdoors while you can. And you should use the TPWD as a resource when heading out. You can find more information at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's website.
