Great mixed bag catch on Palestine




James Burton, a fishing guide (www.easttexasfinestfishng.com) who regularly fishes Lake Palestine and Lake Fork among other east Texas lakes reported a great mixed bag on a trip on Lake Palestine this past week. First off, he and his customers netted 32 crappie from about 1 foot of water. Most of the fish came on minnows, but Burton managed several fish using a slab Bandit, chartreuse/white on a 1/8 oz unpainted jig head. Later he caught an 8 lb largemouth bass.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 15)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 52 degrees; 0.32 feet below pool. A big cold front came through last weekend, after a short warming trend there is another cold front in the forecast for the weekend. None of this is good for fishing, just makes it uncomfortable. White bass are good, but there is a limited bite period. Target the channel in front of Flat Creek Island, or the humps of the bay right after sunrise. Hybrid stripers are good, but again, limited bite periods. Try trolling the channel in front of the Eagles Bluff boathouses, and the channel leading to the overflow spillway. For trolling use redneck trolling rigs with Pet spoons, or yankee trolling rigs with Coyote spoons. Report by Jim Beggerly, jimsfishinglakepalestine. Crappie are good with jigs and minnows in creeks off Lake Palestine. There are even reports of some white bass trickling in as well. White bass can be caught on white curly tails and small crappie jigs, or spinnerbaits. Report by Caleb Hensley, 903 Fishing.
