Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Launch cove is warming up and getting shallow, so don’t expect much action there. Head out to the points away from the shallow warm water—this may require some hiking. Use long casts with PowerBait and add extra scent to improve chances. Fish using the same methods recommended for Lake Camanche.
Changes We’re Seeing
Water in shallow areas like the launch cove is warming quickly, pushing fish toward deeper structure. Fishing pressure or conditions may be causing fish to shift location.
Predictions for Next Week
Expect better fishing on the points and deeper structure as fish continue to avoid warm shallow water. Using scent-enhanced PowerBait and long casts will continue to be effective tactics. Anglers willing to hike and target these areas will have the best chance at success.
