Winter Bass in Texas

Featured Replies

It was 38 degrees this morning at 7am in Dallas,TX and still managed to catch several 2 # LMB as well as a 3# baby.

Caught all of them 7-7:30am on a silver/blue rat-L-trap. in 3-5 feet of water except for the big one and he was in 8" of water. I though I made a bad cast into the shallows but he hit it as soon as the lure hit the water.

Who said Bass don't bite in the winter !

since when is a 3 pounder a baby?  dude that's a very nice fish.  to me it's even more rewarding to catch 'em shallow in the winter when you're not "supposed to".  congrats big time. 

Steezy.....very nice catches there.  I've been getting my you know what kicked lately.  I've been back to commons a couple of times, and have caught maybe 2, 1 pounders.  And have gone out to Lewisville and the only thing I've hooked into are some Sandies. 

Very nice catches

yeah...well...it snowed a little here last night and frosted this morning and 38 is our high for today I don't think they're biting here  ;)

nice catch for upper 30's

Something wanted that fish and it looks like it got it hard.

I was in Dallas for the week. You're right, it was cool in the mornings, but warmed up quickly.

I hit the Garland BPS on Lake Ray Hubbard at 6:45 Friday morning and did not walk out until 11:05. I'd tell you how much I spent, but I'm afraid the wife would see it.

Two things I did buy was the XPS rain jacket that they had on sale for 59.84(Regularly 90.00+) and one of the zip up tournament jackets with a hood for 19.95(39.95). I thought both of those were good buys.

I took the boat with me, but never put it in the water.

Solid fish man...I'd take it any day of the week

Steezy,

I responded to your message on Friday, and was on my way to Commons.  Windy, cold, but the sun was out.  Did I mention how cold it was??   My fingers were blue after about an hour.  Needless to say, I got skunked, but you are still pulling them in.  CONGRATS on some nice catches

Freezing this morning, 26 degrees, wind chill 17 degrees.

There still taking the Rat-L-Traps.

Caught several between 6:30-7:30am.

I could only take 1 hour in these temps.

The water was freezing on the line and lure when I was taking the fish off the lure.

It was 39 degrees this morning but still managed to catch 5 in about an hour.  Shallow cranks 4-6 feet deep and hard into the bottom.

This 3# was the best of the morning.
