Canyon Lake: Water gin clear; 62 degrees; 907.15':
Largemouth are good to 6 lbs. in 2'-12' along chunk & boulder rock
inside of vertical timber w/deeper water nearby using Texas
rigged watermelon-red Creme Scoundrel worms, 4" pumpkin
Ring Worms and smoke-red Snap Back tubes. Bass are
schooled up by year class roaming openwater flats and
creek channels feeding on shad on the surface. Spinnerbaits
plastic swim baits and lipless crankbaits will be your best
lure choices when you run across surface activity. Terminator
football head jigs & silver Pirk Minnows (around pods of shad)
are producing when worked down secondary points and/or
natural submerged rock jetties in 12'-25'
Smallmouth are very good over shallow rockpiles and along
bluff ledges in 3'-10' on smoke colored 4" inch JDC grubs,
1/4 oz. Rat-L-Traps and split shot rigged Devil's Tongues.
Stripers are improving but surface activity is short-lived
over areas with humps in 40'-60' vertically jigging Pirk
Minnows, weighted white Snap Back jerkbaits and cranking
deep diving Rogues.
