January Fishing




January has been rough on us with all the cold snow and rain. The cold rains and the snow we had has brought the lake to just over pool levels but fishing has been good. 
Bass have been good even with the water temperature dropping from the 60's to the upper 40's. Bass have been good on my World Famous Shimmy Shakers in 2-6 foot. Fishing slow has been best. Other lures are my Big Eye Spinnerbaits and jigs fished in the same locations. Another great lure is the Mister Twister Comida worms fished on split shot rigs and dead sticking them. 
the wind has made it tough to fish some of the main lake points and road ways. When you can get out in the deeper water on the points fishing the Comida worms and the famous Mister Twister phenom curl tail worms have been very good. February fishing will change a little bit but you should keep catching fish down south will work so try these lures out. The Mister Twister products can be purchased at Porters Sporting Goods on Lake Palestine and the shimmy shakers,jigs and Spinnerbaits can be purchased from me. I can build most any colors that you would want.

Crappie fishing is good on the river channel fishing the standing timber with jigs and small minnows.

Catfish are very good on rod and reels and on jug lines. The best bait is shad, chicken hearts and night crawlers.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 20)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 68 degrees; 1.08 feet below pool. There is not a lot of freshwater runoff from the recent rains because the vegetation is absorbing most of it. Water temps remain in the upper 60s, but should begin dropping soon as the fall fronts begin. Bass fishing remains good, as the fish pursue shad that are moving into the creeks to the warmer water. Reports of success moving slowly up the mid and upper lower lake creeks with both surface lures and swimbaits. Target areas with 4 feet or less to find the shad. Fishing the more open parts of Chimney Cove and Cobb near the mouths should also be productive, especially on sunny afternoons, if the shad gather there. Catfish remain good for daytime rod-and-reelers, though the channels remain small. Please review the notes from the Outdoor Annual for Lake Palestine regarding catfish, those notes show that the normal state limits for both channel and blue catfish are superseded and different. Bluegill or perch fishing has been good around the mid and lower lake bridges with a No. 2 crappie hook and small minnows for the larger ones, or worms. Anticipate some yellow bass, excellent eating, no size or number limits, mixed in. Report by Jim Beggerly, Jim’s Fishing Lake Palestine.
