Lake Conroe Fishing Report 4/28/22
Lake Conroe is at 201.02 ft msl, or just above full pool. The water temperature is ranging from 71 to 77 degrees. While there are still a few fish on beds in a few very specific locations, most of the fish we are catching are post spawn. We are catching fish above the bridge, using a SPRO Popping Frog and buzz baits around shallow cover where a shad spawn has occurred nearby. We are also getting early shad spawn bites around rocks using a Hedden Zara Spook. We will continue with the frog and small swimbaits around shallow cover after the sun gets up and the shad move out deeper. On the south end, fish are funneling out of the canals and pockets where spawning activity took place. They are seeking out the docks and bulkheads on the points outside of these areas. These fish are using the docks as an ambush point for feeding, and as a holding point to recover from spawning activity. Points where a morning shad spawn is present, seem to concentrate the most fish, and provide good early morning action. As the sun gets up and the shad spread out a little deeper, most of the fish remain close to the bulkhead. Areas where bluegill are present seem to be a little better, as they provide another type of forage for mid-morning to late day feeding. We are flipping these bulkheads and docks with a Spot Remover Pro-model, paired with a Zoom Trick Worm in green pumpkin or black and blue. Texas rigged creature baits work well around these docks too. We have begun catching some deeper fish around off-shore rocks and brush in certain areas, but we have yet to find size or numbers off-shore. This pattern feels like it is still a few weeks away.
