Lake Amistad Fishing Report August 2021
August 2021
It’s Just above freezing with a cold North wind blowing…. in Pevek Russia… so I’ll stay on Amistad where it’s sunny and a bit warm… Lately the stripers and whites have been keeping my rods bent. Past few days I’ve fished 90% of the lake and have caught fish on both sides. Hydrilla is in good shape down to18ft but it’s lots of fishless cast until you find a school. There was a hourly Mexican tournament with 51 boats Saturday and surprisingly a 3lbr was the largest caught. Past week Ive seen fish schooling on the surface while graphing lots of fish and bait suspended deep. For me it’s been topwater and swimbaits in the grass and crankbaits, spoons, and drop shots out deep. Please call or text if interested in a day on the lake. (830) 768-3648 Thanks, Stan

Water Level 1067.33...49.67 low
Water Temp 70s
Water level is low and continuing to drop but the fishing is a blast. Topwaters are producing most of my fish but it seems every lure in the box will catch a few. Yesterday we caught fish start to stop on topwaters, square bills and Tx rig plastics. The grass is hanging in there regardless of the water dropping and the fish are on it like always. Right now the deepest Ive seen is approx 12ft. The Devils is lacking grass but Im hearing and seeing great reports from that side as well. Box and Airforce ramps are down to one lane but all of Diablo is open.

First I want to say thanks to those who sent congratulations regarding my Texas Team Trail win. Without a doubt a fun and exciting day. Winning a boat is a good problem to have haha.. As for Amistad, its a bumpy ride lately. The wind has blown and then blown some more. A couple days a go I had two teenagers. Their Dad followed with 2 more in his boat. It was like we were surfing trying to navigate back to the ramp. It was a slow ride one giant wave at a time. We returned safe but Dad speared a wave and his crew were drenched head to toe. The important part is they still caught fish haha.. Catching fish hasnt been an issue. The keeper fun size are plentiful. The mamas have been playing hard to catch. I had the big fish of the recent tournament. It was 7.52. I was surprised it held up with 165 boats competing. My guess is the larger have mostly spawned and gone. If you look hard you can still find beds but they arent lake wide like expected for this time of year. The positive side is late April May and June should be on fire. The water temps will rise and the activity level will be at the Red Bull level. The week or so of freezing temps a while back sure knocked the grass down but its returning fast and will only help the bite in days to come.

Nothing like a week of ice and snow to slow down the boat ramp. Glad those days are behind us. Yesterday we caught several blacks up to 5lbs in 15-25ft. Another spot we caught whites, stripers, and crappie in 20-30ft. Past week Ive found a couple pockets of bed fish (6lb female largest Ive seen) but same as every year its few and far between to start. Most fish have yet to make the jump but thats changing and changing fast. The snow and cold temps thinned out some of the grass. Its still there just not as thick. It seems the Coots are enjoying life as they continue to shred it. Several quality fish have been caught over the past month. A few over 10 are the largest I know of with several 6-8lbrs caught. A couple 9s were weighed in recent tournaments. It will take a heavy bag to win the upcoming tournaments Bass Champs, Tx Team Trail, and a few others providing another cold front doesnt blow in. Timing should be spot on. Del Rio Hourly Big Bass is this month also. Last year I had a customer catch a 10 the day before the tournament. Could of would of should of been a $8000 fish - (should have been here yesterday)

Fun day Fun week Fun month. Customers caught a 7.03 today, an 8.12 Saturday, another had a 6+ few days ago and we all caught fish from keepers to 4lbs but my 10.04 on Jan 2nd topped the list For January.
Fish have been scattered from 5-55ft. The current days weather sure makes the day unpredictable but overall it’s been game on.
Pre-Spawn to Spawn things are about to change quickly. 🎣
