Any advice on Lake Bastrop with the weather getting colder?Would like to go after some catfish as well as get a jerk on a lure. I like catching my own bait but don’t know where the shad hang out. Just got this boat and still have to put electronics on it. New to me boat and a lake I know nothing about. Can you save me a little hunting?

Tons of grass all over the lake. Haven't been lately but others said it's pretty low. You can try a frog or buzzbait early, but I've done better fishing the outside edge of the grass lines.

Thank you so much. I love my buzz baits. A friend of mine says I tie them on the wing mirrors on the way to the lake to break them in. Sounds like fun. I have a flat bottom so I’m built for shallow. You wouldn’t happen to know or noticed schools of shad anywhere?

Plenty of bait out there as well Douglas. Good luck!

Thanks again. Sounds like my kind of place. It’ll be a first for me to throw a net from the boat. If you see a guy in a big flat bottom throwing a net that looks like a taco don’t laugh too hard.
