Hope everyone is staying safe and getting time to do some good fishing. I am heading over to Lewisville this weekend and boat fishing, I wanted to see where you guys are catching nice keepers, what depth are you guys landing them on and what part of the lake. not asking for specific honey holes haha but just some advice to form my fellow fishermen on here. I will be using cut bait, bluegill and shad.

Find the big groups of sandbass and you’ll find the Blues as well as every other species in the lake. Mid depth ambush structure like humps and ledges in the main lake is the ticket. This time of year a large number of blues will start to group up and move out into open water chasing threadfin and stay on the move. I been off the water for 2 weeks with knee surgery or I would tell ya where I been catching. 2 more weeks and them Lewisville Blues are in big trouble!

I could tell you all the places to not go. We're going to try some new trick this weekend, but it's been extremely rough.

There is a reason Tom is the only Bluecat guide on Lewisville. This lake has a tendency to put guides out of business or forces them to change lakes. I know a ton of catfisherman on this lake but only 4 stay on them Blues year round. I’m sure there are more but they don’t fish the areas we fish or they keep their distance and don’t care to be friendly. What area of the lake are you fishing? Maybe I can point you in the right direction...

I will be using cut bait, bluegill and shad. Go by the dam and drift with a bag. Look at the maps o Navionics and you'll see a huge channel running from center left of dam north, and then cuts east for a long distance. Drop a live blue full and other baits to the bottom and wait it out. Good luck!
The hard and mighty lie beneath the ground. While the tender and weak dance on the breeze above. -Lao Tzu maybe he got to see area 51 in person. He did. They took him into the ship and removed his brain.

55 ft deep?? Can you show us some cat pics of these fish you been catching? Only time I fish that stretch is in January after we’ve had a big cold snap.

The water is cooler during the day there. You might land.some monsters. I haven't been out there yet but I know they're there. You might hit flatheads too. At night I would go to the lake Dallas side and fishing in 30 foot channels

Most of the catfish that I have been lucky enough to catch lately have been in shady, shallow water around trees or rocks.

I'm guessing that a thermocline is in place over that deep water now.

What are you expecting? I'm saying could and would because you never know with fishing. But go ahead and knock yourself out, it's not like I've been fishing in that lake for 20 years or anything.

El Gato is the best bluecat fisherman on Lewisville. He stays on em year round. I’d heed his advice and take the learning curve out. His advice isn’t speculation it’s what’s worked year in and out. He’s taught me more than anyone and is willing to help anyone that asks. Just asks you turn the big girls back in return!
