Lake Buchanan: Water clear; 50 degrees; 1012.95' (7.5' low):
Largemouth, stripers and white bass are cooperating but the
presentation must be a slow one. "Soak" that bait until you can't stand it any longer before you ever move it.
Largemouth are fair in 8'-20' along secondary creek points and ledges slow-rolling black-red Terminator spinnerbaits, suspending Rogues, pumpkin Devils Tongues on drop shot rigs and 3 inch JDC Craws on jigheads.
Stripers are good to 28" in 22'-28' along the main river channel uplake from Beaver Creek jigging silver Pirk Minnows, swimming 2" Spoiler Shads, throwing Snap Back soft jerkbaits on RED Bait Jerker Hooks or Rattlin' Rogues and drifting live bait.
White Bass to 16" are beginning to move and are improved in 20'-30' on the mainlake creek points on 2" Spoiler Shads, jigging 1/8th oz. Tiny Traps and Pirk Minnows,

Lake LBJ: Water stained to clear; 51 degrees; 824.96' (full):
The slowest presentation possible is a key to success right now. Don't expect to catch numbers of fish. The fish that ARE being caught right now are quality.
Largemouth are fair in 6'-12' on brushpiles and laydowns pitching black-blue 1/4 oz. Terminator Pro Series jigs w/pork trailers, suspending crankbaits like 4" to 6" Rogues, 5" JDC Craws and Texas rigged watermelon-red Craw Tubes,
Stripers are good during generation early in the shoals below Inks Dam on Spoiler Shads, Bleeding Shad Rat-L-Traps and soft jerkbaits rigged on RED Bait Jerker Hooks.
White Bass fair on channel turns down to 20' on Pirk Minnows, Tiny Traps and Lit'l Fishies.
