Lake Whitney Fishing Reports (July 2026)

The high water we experienced in late spring early summer has set us up for an incredible summer. While the striper and white bass fishing has slowed down we have seen an increase in activity from other species.
Largemouth are good on poppers in the morning and late evening, while slow sinking streamers around brush and cut banks have filled the slower parts of the day.
Spotted bass have moved into the riffles in numbers and can be caught in all water columns. A popper dropper rig with any small streamer has brought a ton of doubles to hand.

Trinity bay Temps are high 80s. Alot of fish are deep and hungry. Small trout and skipjacks are running the shallows on incoming tides. Reds are staying deep in channels and deep reefs. Black drum are everywhere, with sheepshead mixed in with them. The go-to bait are live shrimp and fresh dead shrimp on popping cork, artifical and also bottom rigs.

Fishing in trinity bay has been great with quick limits. Reef, rocks, and structures have been holding fish. Reds, Trout, Blackdrum have been biting prominently on shrimp under cork and with good tide movement on bottom rigs. Sheepshead have been of good size hitting on shrimp as well. Tons of bait moving around the bay system. This weekend between the bad weather should be great fishing with the waters cooling down a little.

Well this weather has been crazy but can still put my clients on fish. Between high winds and super low tides we have found success.

Fishing has been great on the bite during mid and ending of tides. Keepers other than black drum have been a hit or miss. The schooling size reds are plentiful. Small trout running the shallows, larger trout are staying deep still along the channel. Fish have been hitting live and dead shrimp and mid water plastics

First kayak trip of the year. Client wanted to understand the area and where to fish. A successful trip with a few keepers.

A return 3 generation family trip and this kid out fished them all!! He had mad skills caught the first fish of the day, the biggest fish, and the most. These men were proud and ready to book again.

Plenty of fish to be caught. The red fish run has started early this year. A lot of bull reds running our area.

First two boat trip on the books. Found the fish and limited out in 2hours. All reds were over sized couldnt catch a slot this trip but my return client finally got his red this trip.

Well these kids wanted to catch fish as big as them so I made it happen.
