Houston River looks horrible right now but it will square away sooner than later with spring around the corner ... Start with a watermelon red lizard rigged weightless and go from there, flip each cypress tree and let it slide down the trunk . You will get bit

Everything small. 4" Lizards, Tiny Brush Hogs, KVD 1.5 Squarebill Crank baits. Like Hydro says, pitch/flip everything. May catch goggleye and bluegill with the smaller baits but they eat better than bass do !

My Favorite bait on the river is a Blk/Red Speed craw.... texas rigged with 3/16 oz weight. .. Like they said.. Flip n pitch every single peice of cover... Hit every drain you see.... Also keep a smaller colorado blade spinner bait tied on. If you run a bank with one... u will catch.

well I guess I may need to slow down then and try to hit every cypress knee then, ill usually just make a cast here then troll 5-10 ft and cast again.

Hit every single tree multiple times.... from all different angles... especially if its cold.

Great info from the others. One thing as of late i have noticed on the river is they want every plastic i present real slow. Been fishing weightless with fluoro here lately. Speed craws, brush hogs, lizards, finesse worms, and flukes are always good solid producers. Good luck and keep at em.

do most of yall fish soft plastics weightless all year, or put a small 3/8 or 1/8 oz bullet sinker on it?

I'll only fish a fluke weightless. I fish a 4" lizard with a 1/32oz weight and all other plastics I generally use a 1/8oz. I've also done well with a tiny fluke nose hooked weightless on a spinning reel. Catches brim and bass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Year round for me, but I do like to use a nice heavy/stout wide gap hook which does add some weight and makes it fall flatter IMO ... Good luck ! |
