Wow, today was great on Canyon lake. The water is 10 feet low and crystal clear. We had wind blowing 15+ most of the day and overcast, but warm with a high of 77. It is the day before a major cold front. Water temp was 60 to 62. We caught around 40 bass today from half way back in creeks to the back. Most of our bites came on 45 degree pea gravel and chunk rock banks.
First thing, our bites were in 17-21 feet of water where the bottom dropped into the actual creek channel. As the day progressed, the bass moved really shallow to less than 4 feet of water on secondary points and then settled back to around 10 feet on the 45 banks.
We used Zoom baby brush hawgs in watermelon candy, Berkeley Havoc Creature baits in Okechobee Craw, and Square billed crankbaits in a chartreuse/brown crawdad pattern. The soft plastics were rigged Texas style with a 1/4 ounce bullet sinker.
Best of luck on your next day out,
Bassin' Dave

Hey Dave,
Thanks for the update. We're heading to Canyon Lake in the morning... hopefully we can do as well as you did last week!

Hey Dave,
All in all we had a great day at Canyon. We caught about 30 fish ( that's the most I've ever caught there) but most of them were small white bass. Lots of fun to catch though. We did catch 4 nice 20+ inch stripers, only 1 Lg. Mouth.
Hope to see you on the lake sometime!
Mark
