April 8th Main Lake Water Temp. mid 50s
The Lake elevation is 3785.82
Storage is 186,800 acre ft.
The Main Lake is clear
The fish have moved up and they are starting to bite. The weather is FINALLY improving so it time to start planning a fishing trip to the Lake!
Walleye are fair right now. They have moved shallow and are probably starting to spawn. Therr were a couple of females caught Monday that eggs in them. Also, the males are milting. Squarebill Crankbaits such as Wiggle Warts and KVD 1.5s were working this weekend. Swim Baits and Crawler Harnesses drug on Bottom Bouncers also produced Walleye in the last couple of weeks.
Bass are still a little slow but thay are improving some. Senko style worms and 3" 'Craws worked around cover in 8 to 12 feet of water are both starting to produce Sallmouth. There has also been a fair bite on Swim Baits cast over deeper cover. They should start moving to secondary points as the water temperature nears 60 degrees. The Texas Panhandle Bass Anglers are hosting a 2 day open tournament this Saturday and Sunday. Also, Tip Top Bass club is hosting a 1 day tournament Sunday. Both of them bring some good sticks to the Lake so we should see some good weights come in.
White Bass were fair to good when you could get on the water this past week. Trolling with Flicker Shad and casting with Casting Spoons, Small Spinners, and Swim baits was also working. The Canadian, from Horseshoe Bend to Romero Canyon seemed to be the best areas.
There weren't any reports on Crappie or Catfish this past week.
Coming Soon
The Scope Shad is made from Yamamoto's Mega Floater Formlua, a forward-facing sonar weapon that can deliver in other finesse applications as well such as trailer and on a dropshot. 3" 10ct.
REMINDER!
The new fishing licenses year begins April 1st! Be sure and renew your licenses on line at New Mexico Game and Fish. Also, be sure and check the changes in the day use pass and camping fees for N M State Parks.
Until Next Week,
TIGHT LINES, GOOD FISHING, AND "MAKE 'EM BITE"!
