Lake Conroe

I heard the cold front pushed a lot of fish shallow. Find some hydrilla and start fishing! Should be much easier to fish now since the water is cooler and the recreational boaters will be in the house!

Phil is correct! Try over the hydrilla in the morning with a soft frog, fluke or senko! As the day progresses get on the edge of the hydrilla beds and try a blue fleck, camo or watermelon red 10″ worm of your choice, pegged with a 1/4 oz weight and go to town! The lighthouse by Seven Coves and Caney Creek both have good well defined hydrilla beds. Good luck!James

thanks for the tips. ill let yall know how it goes.

I dont usually go over there, but I usually know whats going on. Fishing will be post spawn tough. Fish as much rip rap and docks as possible with a Strike King swim bait or shallow running crank bait. Wacky rigged worms will also work. The lake will be rough whether the wind blows or not due to boat traffic! Good luck!

into the stumps to avoid the boat traffic.

Im catching most of mine on rip rap and under docks with cranks and soft plastics

Bet its the same on Lake Houston for owners who left their boats on lifts or just tied up along the bulkheads.

I just dont get it, no way I would I have left my boat on the lake. They are saying over 200 boats and watercraft are either floating around or stuck on land. The debris floating around on the lake is insane. There are some really nice boats sitting on rock banks.

Yes sir. I fished LH last Thursday and was amazed at how many boats were still on lifts. Was no discernible evidence that anyone even thought to secure their boat. Funny thing is that almost every yard with a boat and dock had the boat trailer sitting in the back yard or on the side of the house.

I know some that even though their boat didnt float off they have quite a bit of damage from the boat hitting and bouncing off the roof of their dock. After seeing all the docks torn loose, floating debris from the docks ripped apart, that cost alone has got to be in the millions. You could do some serious damage to your boat right now with al the huge debris out there. Going to head up to Livingston Saturday to pre fish a high school tournament.

By the time anyone not living at the lake had a clue the flood was going to be this bad, it was impossible to get from Houston to the lake and then get back home. I almost went to the lake Saturday morning. If I had, I would have been stuck in conroe until Tuesday or Wednesday.

I understand for those not living on or maybe near the lake. But, it was a category 4 hurricane and they were predicting record amounts of rain, well over 30-40”. I saw estimates of 50 plus inches. I know everyone couldn’t get to their boats but many could have gotten them off. I got back from Hawaii Thursday and fished Livingston Friday and knew about when I was in Hawaii. I know many living in high risk areas had bigger issues. Just didn’t understand why those that live on the lake didn’t pull them out. I know they are just boats and can be replaced but at a huge cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
