Awesome thread!

2/4/2023: Graham and I went out from 10 AM to 4 PM and caught 48: 5 short hybrids, 3 yellow bass, and the rest white bass. Biggest hybrids were fat 16-inch fish. Several white bass were tournament size. Fishing was tougher today because, when we located fish on structure and caught 3 or 4, they would leave the structure, and we'd have to go find them on another structure - only to have the same thing happen. We found some fish in 15 to 17 fow and some in 20 to 25 fow. Deeper fish were very reluctant to bite - I think because the water was not as clear due to the 4 days of rain last week. Best baits again were Mepps #4 white/pink blade and white hazy-eyed bladed slab. Water temp was 48.5 degrees.

2/27/2023: Graham and I went out from 9 AM to 3:45 PM to check out structure fishing. We ended up catching 116: 107 white bass, 8 yellow bass, and a short hybrid. We caught fish straight down on Long Ridge West in 22 fow, 3 Jug Hump in 20 fow, and Enchanted Isle Ridge in 20 fow. But we did the best at Doll-house Point in 10 to 18 fow casting out and reeling in along the bottom. Mepps #4 silver was the best bait. We also caught some on white-bladed Mepps and Maindell's hazy-eyed bladed white slab. The vast majority of fish were females fat with eggs. We kept about 23 for folks wanting fish. We also checked Key Ranch, Old Pond Dam, and Merimac Point but didn't find fish at these spots.

Thanks Dennis. What are the water temps?

In the lower 50's.

WTG Dennis.

Nice!

Are the boat ramps and docks usable?

Yes, lake is basically full, just .63 low.

Was out briefly yesterday. Fish are easy to find and catch with Mepps #4 silver - deep and shallow structures. Water temp is 59 degrees F.

Was thinking about coming down after this rain clears today , love your reports as always. Was looking on your map but didn't see enchanted isle on it what is it close to?

Thanx for the reports and updates, thinking bout fishing the lake from my boat for the first time Saturday.
If I launch near Log Cabin, is there a bait shop on that end of the lake?

Here is a map showing Enchanted Isle Ridge location:

Malakoff Bait shop is on Hwy 198 north of Malakoff on the west side of the highway about 3 miles south of the Caney Creek bridge.
