Inks Lake Fishing Report – Spring Transition
Inks Lake is at a normal level with stained water and about 2–4 feet of visibility. Water temperatures are hovering around 60°, and bass are moving through a mix of pre-spawn and early spawning patterns. Some fish are staging just off spawning areas while others are beginning to move shallow as the lake continues its transition toward the main spawn.
A reliable pattern has been fishing crankbaits and drop-shot rigs around submerged vegetation in roughly 8–12 feet of water. These areas are acting as key transition zones, and anglers who slow down and...

A reliable pattern has been fishing crankbaits and drop-shot rigs around submerged vegetation in roughly 8–12 feet of water. These areas are acting as key transition zones, and anglers who slow down and thoroughly work productive stretches of vegetation are often able to pick up multiple bites from grouped fish.

Inks Lake Fishing Report – Late December 2025
Inks Lake is currently at a normal water level with lightly stained water and about 2–4 feet of visibility. Water temperatures are hovering around 60°, and the cooler, overcast days have been producing the most consistent action. With the recent drawdown behind us, the lake is continuing to settle into typical winter patterns.
Bass fishing has been best using finesse presentations, especially drop-shot rigged worms, along with crankbaits. One productive pattern has been targeting remaining patches of submerged vegetation in roughly 8–11 feet of water, where fish have been holding and feeding...

With the recent drawdown behind us, the lake is continuing to settle into typical winter patterns.
Bass fishing has been best using finesse presentations, especially drop-shot rigged worms, along with crankbaits. One productive pattern has been targeting remaining patches of submerged vegetation in roughly 8–11 feet of water, where fish have been holding and feeding consistently. Another reliable option has been working shallow hard cover and structure in creek arms, where both drop-shots and squarebill crankbaits have been producing steady bites.
Overall, Inks Lake is offering solid winter fishing opportunities right now, especially for anglers willing to slow down and focus on quality structure and cover.

Having to sift through the little ones to get to the big ones, but the big ones are there to be caught! There are definitely some bass spawning, but we are targeting the fish that are staging on offshore hard spots just outside of spawning areas with jigs and deep diving crankbaits.
