Lake Buchanan
EXCELLENT. Water lightly stained; 87 degrees; 0.52 low. Largemouth bass are good with Texas-rigged plastic creatures, jigging spoons, and deep-diving crankbaits working along grass lines, windy points, rock ledges, and brushy areas. Striped bass are good with live bait. White bass are excellent on slabs when fishing deeper water in the main lake and using sonar to locate baitfish schools. Try scouting for birds diving early or late in the day to mark feeding schools. Crappie are good on jigs and minnows in 14-28’ fishing timber. Channel catfish have been good on chicken liver and cut bait.
