Lake Amistad Fishing Reports

Lake Amistad Report Winter 2014

The pond happens to be a little creeping up the previous couple of months while the level now's some over 35 ft reasonable. Water temps have been hanging around the lower to mid 50's.
The hydrilla regarding pond is isolated to about a 4-5 mile stretch with scattered areas lake large.
The standard Lake Amistad Winter fishing habits will prevail again. Concentrating on the biggest market of the drains and creeks with crankbaits, suspending jerk baits, swim jigs, and sq bills will always be a stronger structure. The swimbait bite fished different ways, like in empties and creeks and/or over ledges and networks can trigger some big seafood that wouldn't otherwise be seen. Do not forget to have a look at some off shore river ledges and channel swings, with jigs and c-rigs, this system also produce fish.
Later on in Jan and early Feb there's also the potential of a few bass spawning when there is 5 or more times of unseasonably summer consecutively. Therefore you shouldn't be afraid to simply take a peak in some of the even more protected canyons.

Belated Spring - Early Summertime 2013

At the time of April 27th 2013 the Lake was creeping upon 59 ft reasonable and liquid temps into the high 60’s to low 70’s. I am hearing water launch should diminish in a few days . It really doesn’t bother myself that individuals are at a near record low-level, the pond constantly seems to rebound from being low. Future it'll be good-for Amistad with new plant life growing across the banking institutions. Once the pond does increase there will be brand new address for the bass to call home in and cover for bait seafood to hide in.

With the water temps warming we should begin to see the aquatic plant life take-off especially with the brand new fertile soil and silt because of it to develop in. Fishing recently with some deep cranks and carolina rigs I have pulled up some new development of hydrilla because deep as 20 ft . Additionally day-to-day I have seen some green strands of hydrilla going swimming the pond. It is only a matter of time before it should be every-where once again.

The months of might and June always bring among the better top water fishing of the season. I've had great trips and got some great reports of a decent top water bite already. Because of the dropping water, primary and additional things will likely to be what I will appear for. The typical Amistad top liquid baits will undoubtedly be working like Zara Spook kind baits, chugging baits, and buzz baits.

Tx rigged huge worms, method to huge swimming baits, including, mid depth cranks can produce seafood in identical areas this time of the year.

You can even get-out on some of the many main lake river ledges, points, and humps and seafood Carolina rigs, baseball jigs, and deep cranks.

There has also been a shad spawn regarding pea gravel points and banks. Search for these types of banks or points which have cranes standing in liquid or wild birds scuba diving near to the lender. There May bass into the area…

The nationwide Park Service has actually established the spur 454 ramp and it has added a shuttle solution to haul men and women down and up the Diablo East hill that will help a lot after an extended time on the liquid.

Fall 2012

Lake Amistad is 32.50 feet reduced and it has already been steady the past week. The water temps tend to be gradually going down, It’s into the reduced to mid 70’s early and mid to upper 70’s later inside time.

The aquatic plant life is still powerful lake broad using current grass being hydrilla. There's still some duck weed/pepper lawn in certain aspects of the lake but the majority of it ended up being left dried out regarding the lender. The hydrilla in some places will develop out to 18 to 20 legs but the majority of outside edge is ten to fifteen ft.

This lake is all about to bust free with some giant bass, I have along with other fishermen have-been currently catching these rouge leaders virtually on a regular basis. These are bass which were call at the blue water for a while. Now using lake degree low enough, it has brought us closer to where those huge seafood live 90percent of the season. We possibly may see a few Share- a- Lunkers caught in the next six months right here on Amistad.

The habits employed by myself now are:

Cranking mid- depth crank baits in available liquid over grass flats, points, and into drains, additionally Tx rigging the exact same places with a light Tx rig.

Flipping grass with a-1 ¾ oz energy Tackle Lateral Perch or a 1 1/4oz effect Innovations Beaver in the center of drains, and back in the main creeks and bays, the lawn is 8 to 12 ft. in most among these places.

Top water, Walking baits, frogs, Chug Bugs, round the shallow grass particularly in the rear water behind the hydrilla mats when you look at the backs associated with creeks and bays.
