I hope y’all are doing well! The weather is finally starting to warm up and more people are getting the fishing bug. March proved to be a pretty busy month for me, which I’m very thankful for. The wind and storms made for a few interesting yet successful trips and rescheduled trips for others. This time of the year, the wind is the biggest obstacle for fishermen. However, sometimes it can be a fishing guide’s best friend. Wind directs the waves, which in turn directs the micronutrients in the water, which in turn directs the baitfish, and you guessed it…this directs the fish. Not always true, but this is a good rule of thumb. Enjoy the Lake Lewisville Fishing Guide March Reports! We are looking forward to a great April.
Lake Lewisville Fishing Guide March Reports-The Spawn
March usually starts the spawning period for most fish species. Crappie, white bass, striped bass, and even hybrid striped bass will begin their mating procedure. Yes hybrid striper go through a mock spawn and even produce eggs, but in the end they are sterile and nothing comes of it. This is important because this means these fish can be found in spawning areas going through the motion of a spawn. A lot of these fish will make their way up the rivers and creeks to spawn, while some stay in the main lake. The fish I have been catching are the spawners in the main lake. Creek fishing can get a little gnarly with all the stumps and rocks waiting for your lower unit to cruise by. However it can provide some awesome fishing. Wind blown points and flats on the main lake are great areas to check for feeding fish on the main lake.
Lake Lewisville Hybrid Striper Fishing
Some spectacular fishing for big hybrid stripers on Lake Lewisville is right around the corner. The hybrid striper is the best fighting fresh water fish hands down. It is a cross breed between a striped bass and a white bass. The goal in mind when creating these fish was to make a heartier more resilient fish. They’re strong! They taste great too. There are two different types of hybrid striper. Sunshine hybrids are created from the eggs of a white bass and sperm of a striped bass. Palmetto hybrids are created from the eggs of a striped bass and the sperm of a white bass. They are not as long as a pure blood striped bass, but they are wider and have broken stripes. The best way to tell the difference, besides the size of the fish, between white bass and hybrid stripers is to look at the tooth patch. White bass have one tooth patch and striped bass and hybrid striped bass have two tooth patches. The past couple of years, May through July has been the most consistent fishing for these awesome fish. This is live bait fishing, sometimes fishing with gizzard shad as big as your hand for bait. We catch limits of hybrid striper ranging from 4-10 pounds daily. It’s my favorite time of the year for fishing. I only have a few weekend dates left in May and June, so get with me if this sounds like fun and you’re needing a weekend date. Morning and afternoon trips are available on most days.
Lake Lewisville Fishing Report
The fishing on Lake Lewisville is getting better with the weather warming up. We’ve had a weird and challenging Fall and Winter seasons on Lewisville. The closer to May we get, the better the fishing will be. White bass with the occasional hybrid can be caught on the main lake right now. Some fish are still suspended in deeper water and others are hugging the bottom on shallow humps and points. Here in a few weeks, most the fish will be relating solely to structure again. There are also fish in the creeks. A quarter ounce jig head with a curly tail grub in the creeks is a great bait. On the main lake, live shad and small jigs have been working the best for me. More and more fish will return from the creeks and finish spawning, and the lake will bust out and really turn on in a matter of a day or two. The white bass usually return to the main lake a week or two before the hybrids. The fish spawn in waves and return to the main lake in waves. The water temperature is reaching the low 60s on warm sunny days and dropping to around 54 degrees on cloudy days. It’s almost game time for Lewisville
Lake Ray Roberts Fishing Report
Lake Ray Roberts is still fishing good! I’ve had a couple slower days, but we’re still catching fish on those days. I’ve also had multiple days of catching over 100 white bass in 4-5 hours. I’m constantly moving and searching for the right group of fish. Some days we are doing well picking off the groups of 4 or 5 fish and other days we have large groups of 20-30 fish underneath the boat. Deep water flats, ledges, and points are producing well for me right now. We are catching these white bass on light tackle and light line. It’s a blast! The bait of choice has been tandem 3 inch chartreuse flukes. I’m still holding these baits still for the most part with a slight twitch every once in a while. Although I think live bait time is right around the corner. We have been catching a few crappie and blue catfish mixed in with the white bass as well. I’ve had some memorable trips the past month fishing with parents and their children and also with some of the Dallas Cowboys! I feel blessed to be a part of these family’s memories.
Lake Tawakoni Fishing Report
Lake Tawakoni is just now turning on! Spawning locations for hybrid stripers are holding enough fish to catch a few limits. There are still quite a few white bass up the creeks and some are being caught in the main lake. It’s swim bait time for big fish. Chunking and winding wind blown points, banks, and humps with a sassy shad or cohoe is a great technique right now. The big catfish bite is slowing down, but the eater sized cats are turning on. Shallow water around timber is producing the best.
