Just curious if there’s still an issue with the algae bloom and if anyone has been west of the Willis Bridge recently? I’d like to go next week but hate to make the trip only to fight around all the muck. Thanks

I plan on being out there Friday, Plan on putting in there at 377 and fishing east of the bridge. But will try and report back on the Algae bloom if I see any.

Hope this helps a few. Took a neighbor out yesterday (Friday) 2pm to 635pm. First 2 hrs we tried DS between the islands and 377 bridge in the deep 32ft to 55ft at several wind protected spots due to strong SW at 15 to 20mph. No fish under. Nada. January and February are usually my happy "hero" DS months but this winter has been mostly "zeros" or smaller fish caught with DS tactic. So far LOL. And ive only been practicing DSing the past 15 yrs? Oh well.

The next 1.5 hrs we tried "bass fishing" points and shorelines in 25 to 10fow cuz of "good" catching tips. My confidence is just not good with this tactic when the water is in the 40s. So after a few hundred workout-casts I didn't see much on SI and no hits. Lol

Wind died so we hauled butt eastward to Washita cuz of tips "yesterday was great" there. Nada. Then decided to head in at 6pm, halfway i saw birds went mad by the hundred circling. In 35 mins, it was fast-and-furious-mayhem awesome! We boated 10 BIGs, smallest was 22 to largest 27", most were 24" range and winter football plumbed and they fought GOOD! LOL.

So i went from a zero to a "hero" this time. Haha! I only covered 44 miles on this big arse lake this time.
ARig hooked up 7 and my neighbor caught 3 on white sassy. With that graph we shoulda caught 100? Lol. Fish were suspended in 15 to 20ft in 50fow. The sun finished setting so I guess only a few bigs can see our lures?

Some proof pics we were out there. Lol. Good luck guys!

From Willis Bridge east all the way up to 70 bridge, i did nott see green algae like i saw two weeks ago. I've not ventured west of 377 bridge this winter yet.

Thank you for the report! Glad to hear that there are some gulls working and that you guys found some

Thanks for the report SeaPro, glad to hear it and I guess sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. 😉

Haha I don't mind having that problem at all! One other problem I don't mind on every trip is "too many overs" and "cant catch any boxes"

Possible snow up there today and tomorrow. I am hoping that will keep the surface temp in the high 40s which is ideal for DS on Texoma. 55f is more ideal DS at other DFW lakes. I got a deadline at work this Thursday. Will try to sneak out on ideal DS condition day before Spring pattern moves in.

Some super fatties SeaPro!!

Wow!

I was in the same area from 9 am till 2 pm on Friday and we had a big fat zero. On "livescope" they would look at my fluke and just turn away. The birds were sitting around and none were working. The algae was there in the morning with no wind from 377 almost to the first island. Wind picked up about noon but still no luck.
