Lake Amistad Fishing Report-May 2009 

Lake Amistad has dropped about 18” since last report, and a lot of fish have spawned, but there are still a lot of fish that have not, especially the big ones.  You can still catch a great number of fish in a variety of ways.  We have had good luck with a jerkbait in shad color.  I try to key in on windblown banks and points.  When using a jerkbait, my number one rod is a Power Tackle PG143 6’10”.  We are also catching a lot of fish with a Texas rigged senko in green pumpkin red colors on a PG104 7’6”.  I fish this rig on the main lake humps and secondary points in 12-15 feet of water.

I am also looking for schooling fish in big creeks and over creek channels.  In here, I am working a swimbait in an around underwater trees.  This method as well as a top water bite should be about to start producing the big fish.  I am expecting the top water and swimbait bite to get even better as the water warms up and the month goes on. 

Be sure to give me a call if you need some help on Big Blue and Good Luck Fishing!
