Lake Amistad  water has been clear and at approximately 55 degrees. The lake is around 2 feet below  normal level.  Black bass are fairly good with soft crankbaits, jerkbaits, and soft plastics. Striped bass are fair on crankbaits and live minnows. The latest Fishing Report says white bass are pretty good on crankbaits, and minnows. The Crappie fishing is just fair with live minnows. Catfish are fair on shrimp, or night crawlers. On trotlines use perch for your Yellow catfish. A Mexican license is a must if you are going to fish beyond the Mexico border.

The main fish species are Black bass, Crappie, Catfish, White and hybrid striped bass. For active fish on Lake Amistad, spinner baits and crank baits are the more popular choice.

Here are some of the best places to fish and the recommended lures to use:
On San Pedro Flats, use chrome/blue jerk baits, on the Main Lake Flats, bump up the size of your crank baits and fish the edge of grass. On Evans Creek, use soft plastic jerk baits rigged Carolina style. At Zorro Tank Dam, use reddish colored flukes and shad spooks. At Caballo Canyon, use watermellon lizards on Carolina style rigs and fish any structure around the grass. At Tulie Canyon, use green and pumpkin colored drop shots with a slow retrieve for bigger bass.

This lake is in extreme south Texas, so be aware of the hot weather during the summer months and take plenty of water in case of mechanical problems.
