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...

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.
Solid fishing right now for numbers of bass with the occasional big bite! We are targeting submerged vegetation with drop shot rigged finesse worms and Texas-rigged stick worms.

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.

Lake Bastrop-12/4- water temp 67, lots of bass shallow right now, can catch these fish with spinnerbaits and flukes, worms also working well on outside edge of the grass, you can rig these on a drop shot or neko rig to stay weedless

Kicking out big numbers of bass averaging 50-80 bass per trip. Finding big ones has been a little more difficult, but we are getting a ton of bites! We are focusing on deeper grass edges in 15-20 ft of water drop shotting Bass Pro Shops Tri-Color Worms and Texas rigging 5" stick worms.

My son and I had a great time. We caught a crazy amount of bass. I can’t speak highly enough of Richard our guide and how Derek was great with communication. Will definitely book them again.
Great day on the water with Ander and my friend Vance. I got to keep two of the bigger fish that I caught to eat! They tasted great with some blackening spices and butter. I'll recommend Ander to anyone looking to have a wonderful time fishing!
We had an excellent trip with Jake. He’s very knowledgeable and patient. Two of our three are brand new to fishing and he was incredibly helpful and made it fun. He was able to help the group catch a ton of fish, including personal bests for the more experienced angler in our group. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Thanks Jake!
