Choke Canyon Bass Fishing Report

Choke Canyon is alive and well.  The water level is 12.5 feet low and slightly stained on the lower end and becomes more heavily stained to dirty as you move up the lake.  Water temperature has risen a bit running 59-62.  The buck (male) bass are beginning to move shallow in big numbers with a few females scattered out beginning to spawn.  The majority of the females are staging, but are moving in and out on a daily basis.  Look for the bass to still be fairly bunched up.  So if you catch one, focus on the area as you will catch several.

The full moon is coming up March 8th and there will be a huge spawning push by the bass.  I would begin with faster moving baits and then slow down when you catch one.  Adjust your colors and presentation of baits based on the water clarity and cover you face in the area you are fishing.

Choke Canyon is full of grass and brush.  With the low water, the grass is limited so many of the bass have begun to use the bushes.  Also look for harder bottoms that have some rock in them as these areas are preferred for spawning by the bass.

I did a couple of videos around the spawning time a couple years ago where I provide some details related to locating spawning bass.  I look to have some new ones shortly, but have included a link here so you can view the ones I have done - enjoy..... Choke Canyon Bass Fishing Videos.
