GREAT. Water clear; 90 degrees. Bass fishing continues to be good for Lake Bastrop. Bass are good in the hot water discharge and grass lines early in the morning with topwaters, shallow crankbaits, small swimbaits, and shaky head finesse worms worked slowly in the current. There is still some surface action later in the day by the dam biting on topwaters and jigging spoons. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs Bass Fishing Guide Service. Bass are really good schooling all day with the best action early morning with small topwaters and small swimbaits in natural shad colors, 8-12 feet of water on watermelon or green pumpkin wacky worms. Crappie are fair with live minnowsin 22-27 feet of water.
