Lake Amistad has been fishing fantastic over the past 10 days!  The Lake is seeing a lot of pressure with many spring time tournaments but it still continues to be very productive day after day.  The fish are still up all over the lake.  We have been catching a quite a few really solid fish in the 6-8lb range and some best 5 fish tourney bags over 26lbs while on guide trips.  Water temps are up into the low 60's nearly everywhere on the lake.
 
Current Patterns -
     Shallow:  Fish are spawning on the main lake and in all of the creeks.  Some females are moving in while some are moving out.  The more consistent presentations right now seem to be finesse worms, and 5 inch Optimum BLT swimbaits in the 1-15ft range.
      Mid-Depth:  The finesse worms continue to produce in the 15-25 foot depths worked slowly over grass, rock and wood.  The DD22 bite has fallen off some but can still be productive on certain days in the 9-14ft range around the grass.  The football jig bite in 10-30 feet continues to be consistent and catches some better quality fish.  Look for typical pre-spawn / post-spawn transition areas.  
     Deep:  The deep bite on drop-shots and football jigs near creek points is still productive in 15-40ft.
  
See you at the Lake,
