Lake Lewisville

So who out there braved lady lew today? Do think it was going to be crowded with the T.H.B.A fishing there.
How did y’all do?

It was very crowded,as you know it was very windy to say the least,I was a boat captain for my grandsons THBA fishing team they caught 14 fish with 1 keeper , it took 19+ to win a team from Decatur won it , Love joy won overall school , Decatur won 2nd for overall school , there was a 10+ weighed in. There was 250 teams fishing.

Well I did my due diligence on Lewisville today. I fished area up by big sandy/shady shores boat ramp on both sides of the lake. Not very clear water and water temps around 60. Have you ever had one of those lakes that just seems to kick your tail,well Lewisville is mine I guess. Will try another part of the lake next weekend.

I was there today from 10a-1:30. That lake is pissing me off lately. DIlly DIlly!

Fished tower bay side, and west of 35. Fished the points, mouths of coves, all the way into the backs. Even tried the dam a bit. Nothing but dinks for us. it's been a lot of the norm lately, with the occasional bigger one lately... but nothing quite close to lake potential, not what we normally expect. Frustrating a bit, but still trying

I understand completely I will figure it out on day i guess

Don’t be afraid of shallow water on lewisville

Caught 16.5 top 5 today.

great job

Flipping rage craw and 2.5 squarebill yellow black back.

Will be at again in the morning.Got a little guidance from a member.I will conquer at some point.

The bite has been tough. I could not even get dink spots on the ramps with a shaky head which is ALWAYS a way to get bit.

Was out yesterday from 500 til dark and got one short strike and thats it. Threw square bills, spinnerbaits and a buzzbait at dusk.

Well I did go today spent from 7 to 2 and caught 2 small bass and 1 big sandy.
Threw spinner bait,buzz bait,square bills. 1.5 and 2.5 in sexy shad and chartreuse/back.
Threw rage craws on c-rig and T-rig. Pithed into the willows fished edges,rocks,wind and calm.
Am I missing something on this lake or is it going to be the torn in my foot forever?

It is a hard lake to learn. Stay with it. I zeroed several times starting out. Most of the action we saw today was around 11:30 and a spinnerbait was the top producer. I've caught them shallow and 20ft. Think of your time now eliminating water. Try new places each time.

Fished as well. From about 9 to 1.
3 bites, one on a deep diver... maybe 16", 12" on a fluke in about 12 ft, and then the biggest keeper of the day in about 8-10ft off a swimjig, 17".
As for techniques we tried in addition to your list... trap, whopper ploppers, frogs, swimjig. The biggest bait balls we could find seemed to be in 10-15ft.

I'm not sure what is going on on this lake. Questioning why I keep going back myself . lol

Dan, I think we glutens for punishment...lol

IMO the bite has been crappie everywhere lately

Fished Lewisville today. Looks like the water level has been dropping pretty quickly (usually not a great thing for fishing)

Had success with square bill and trig craw shallow. Threw Arig and spinnerbait the rest of the time without success. Buddy was fishing a smaller, lighter spinnerbait with smaller blades and did well on it shallow

Not just smaller and lighter but a particular retrieve.

Slow roll in 2-3 FOW, hit brush at 1.5 feet, let bait sink... BAM!!

And yea, pitching a small craw into brush was good too but subtle bites.

Ok I may have to do something I am NOT accustomed to doing! I may have to admit defeat on Lewisville.
Fished all day for one small sandy and a large hybrid,although they were fun just not what I was looking for.
Damn lake!!!

I got on the lake at 1:30, went until 330 before I quit. I could not find the big bait balls of fish anywhere but 30ft. No bites at all.

Have you tried the backs of major creeks when looking for shad? I know it’s a different lake but today on eagle mountain the shad were wayyyyy back there

yes

I did to, found shad all,over the place. Finding feeding bass not successful at all

Nothing but shorts today in a couple hours of fishing. All in lake dallas area.

Caught em today near Little Elm Launch SE of the bridge towards Cottonwood Creek.
Shad colored Square Bills in 4-7’ of water. Also slow bite on D Bombs T-rig.
Biggest was about 3 1/2 lbs.

Thanks Fast Freddy for keeping me company! Tight lines!
