Highland Lakes (Buchanan & LBJ) Guide Report - JimF - 11-16-2005
Lake Buchanan: Water clear; 60 degrees; 1013.80' (7' Low)
Falling surface water temperatures have moving bass into
creeks and pockets following baitfish. The upper end, from
The Apple Orchard downlake to Beaver Creek, is producing
the best numbers and larger fish by power fishing "motion
baits". Slowing down and working back through productive
areas with soft plastics like Snap Back or Big Pig creature
baits and green-pumpkin Whacky Sticks are yielding even
more bites.
Largemouth are good to very good on 2' - 5' flats inside of
secondary points of pockets and feeders using a white or
silver 1/4 oz. Terminator spinnerbait, Rat-L-Traps, 2" Spoiler Shads and pumpkin JDC Skip-N-Pop topwater poppers.
Stripers are improving with activity early and late on Albino Snap Back jerkbaits, 3" Spoiler Shads and white bucktails w/ trailers. Look for action along mainlake points in 20'-40'from Shaw Island to the Lighthouse.

Lake LBJ: Water lightly stained; 60 degrees; 824.95' (Full)
Water temps. have bass hyper-activate. Almost everywhere
you look you'll find big pods of shad. Largemouth are very aggressive in 2'-4' along boat docks, edges of seawall rip rap & around laydowns or stumps on flats inside of mainlake points using Bleeding Shad Rat-l-Traps, white Tiny-T buzzbaits, a small profile silver-blue erminator 'tungsten' spinnerbaits, cotton candy JDC Gibroni and/or white Whacky Sticks rigged on a 3/0 Whacky Hook by Falcon Lures. The small buzzbaits & JDC Skip-N-Pop topwater poppers are producing all day.
Stripers are fair in the shoals on Spoiler Shads & Terminator In-Line Spinners.
