Lavon Fishing Report
- May 22, 2024
- GOOD. Water lightly stained; 70 degrees; 4.07 feet above pool. White bass will be along the banks if the sad are spawning. Paddle tail swimbaits, and topwater lures are filling the box. If they are not up on the banks, check in 20-35 feet of water on structure, slopes, rock, piles, or humps. Use 1 ounce or 2 ounce slabs in white or chartreuse with a jig tied about 18 inches above it for a double. Crappie are slow. Live scopers rule the lake on the single roaming fish. Very few fish piled up in numbers on structures. Catfish are spawning on the rocks in 3-10 feet of water using sour maze, Milo or chicken scratch fermented in a bucket for two weeks. Then use a barber with punch bait, chicken, liver, shrimp or shad. Black bass are loving the newly flooded brush and forest. Cast white spinnerbaits early in the morning. Cast white spinnerbaits into flooded structures early in the morning, this will work throughout the day when it is cloudy. Work wacky worms on the submerged button willows.
