  • Summary

  • For November 23, 2024, the fishing conditions on the Rio Grande in Texas are looking promising. Here’s what you need to know:

    ### Weather and Tidal Report
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees and a low of 50 degrees. Water temperatures are at about 71 degrees, which is ideal for various fish species. The water level is currently 65.80 feet below pool, with a normal stain.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:58 AM, and sunset is at 5:14 PM, giving you ample time to hit the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been good, especially for white bass, stripers, and black bass. White bass are active in 25-35 feet of water on main river channels, particularly around bait balls. Follow the birds, as they often indicate where the fish are schooling. Stripers are fair around the dam and buoys in 20-25 feet of water. Black bass are fair on main lake and secondary points, typically in 15-20 feet of water.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday saw a decent catch of white bass, with many anglers reporting good numbers around markers 17-23. Stripers were also caught in fair numbers, especially around sheer ledges in the Devils River. Black bass catches were steady, with fish up to 6 pounds reported on main lake points.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For white bass, use spoons, white grubs, blade baits, and crankbaits in shad patterns. Stripers are biting on large flutter spoons, big swimbaits, and bucktail jigs. For black bass, flukes, chatterbaits, rattle traps, and soft plastics are working well. Topwater baits in bone and shad colors are also catching a few fish.

    ### Hot Spots
    - The area between markers 17-23 on the Rio Grande is a hot spot for white bass and stripers.
    - The Devils River around sheer ledges is another good spot for stripers.
    - Main lake points and secondary points are holding a lot of black bass.

    Overall, the conditions are ideal for a productive day of fishing on the Rio Grande. Make sure to keep an eye on the birds and bait balls, and adjust your lures accordingly. Happy fishing
