The following fishing reports are provided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the week of February 11:
LAKE BROWNWOOD
- SLOW. Water stained; 50 degrees; 3.14 feet below pool. Black bass to 9.05 pounds are excellent on soft plastic Prickly Pears in Lone Star Disco scoping around docks and jigs in 10-12 feet of water. Use squarebill crankbaits on the rocks around main lake pockets and points. Crappie are slow to 11 inches on minnows in main lake scattered brush piles. White bass are slow to 1.5 pounds scattered around the main lake. Catfish are slow on minnows and on jug lines with cut shad or perch in the main lake docks and drains.
LAKE CISCO
- GOOD. Water normal stain; 59 degrees; 16.75 feet above pool. Cooler weather and passing fronts have brought north winds and occasional light rain to Lake Cisco, making conditions a bit tougher but still producing fish. Catfish remain the most consistent bite, with anglers catching good numbers on cut shad and punch bait around creek channels. Crappie action is slowly improving on brush and timber in 12-20 feet using minnows. Bass reports are light, but a few are moving shallow on warmer afternoons and hitting spinnerbaits and squarebills around rocks. Wind can make the lake choppy, so use caution.
LAKE COLEMAN
- SLOW. Water stained; 50 degrees; 3.45 feet below pool. Target bass on the points with red crankbait or lipless crankbaits.
LAKE O.H. IVIE
- FAIR. Water stained; 52 degrees; 19.79 feet below pool. Black bass are good to 11 pounds with most fish in the 2-4 pounds. Reports of fish being caught as deep as 25-30 feet on big swimbaits and spoons. Fish around the brush in 5-12 feet as well, but smaller on a variety of baits. Crappie reports are improving. Reports of a limit of crappie in the tops of trees as deep as 50 feet, but primarily in 25-30 feet in the tops of deep trees with minnows working best. White bass are good on spoons and Alabama rigs 30-35 feet on deep points and channel swings. Catfish are good up rivers on a variety of baits with rod-and-reels with shrimp. Report by Wendell Ramsey, Ramsey Fishing.
LAKE PROCTOR
- FAIR. Water stained; 50 degrees; 2.91 feet below pool. The warmer weather has pushed fish shallower for this time of year. Crappie are on ledges in about 12-18 feet. Bass moved to deep ledges. Catfish moved shallow to 5-15 feet. Hybrids are in the upper end of the lake main river channel on bottom. Report Juan Tienda, local angler.
