How is Amastad fishing these days?

have not been down there in years. Thinking of going. Is it worth the 8 hour drive?

Pretty tough for bass champs last week

pretty tuff the 5 days "before" bass champs
.... 6 guys "with" the 3 of the best local guides & the same kind of fish as caught in BASS CHAMPS for all 5 days of fishing
the guides don't understand what is going on right now BUT with the numbers of small fish the next 2 years should be back to great fishing.
if you are going to drive for 8 hours ... go to Falcon.
if you just want to fish Amistad, have never been & 1.5-2# bass is OK, then by all means go on to Amistad. Beautiful lake, great views, nice town

Falcon always a better choice. Amistad has great views though

I haven't been to Amistad since this past December. All last year I always managed to catch quantity over quality. Hopefully the water levels won't drop dramatically in the next year or two and we should see some decent sized fish appearing again. Some people blame the drought from a few years ago but the conditions on my lake say otherwise.

Thanks guys 5yr ago there was grass everywhere is there still a lot of grass?

Yes, there's still lots of grass

Depends on what you mean by "a lot". !!!
We fished more rock & lay downs than we did grass, with those guides for 5 days
Not as much grass as Athens, Rayburn or TB
But more than other lakes

Only thing to save amistad is water and more of it

There's plenty of water in that lake, decent one day, tough the next five.

My buddy and I just got back from there a week ago. We got there on a day that was 90 degrees and glass. A cold front blew in and it was in the high 60’s - low 70’s the next four days with 15-20mph winds. The last day it creeped back up to 80. Needless to say we caught fish, and lots of them, everyday. The wind dictates what you can down there a lot of times, so we had to find 3 or 4 different patterns throughout our trip. We caught roughly 40 fish each day with the largest a little under 8lbs. Great lake to catch a bunch of fish right now.

I remember it being 55ft low and fishing very good.

How bought the 61 ft low..

Mr Blair.....once again in the news....

We will never forget. lol

LOL, looks like he almost made it

Don’t need a very long power pole to anchor up at that depth.

We are leaving tomorrow and was hoping for any current fishing reports that may help those of us that make it to the lake once per year. Thanks for the feedback!

BC had 175 teams last week and they struggled. Sounds like a dink-fest right now.

Yeah give it a year or 2

Mostly a dink fest even out deep. Plenty tough.

Amen

For sure, I really think everyone should find a different lake to go to !!
