  • Summary

  • For anglers heading to the Rio Grande in Texas today, November 17, here’s what you can expect:

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is clear with mild temperatures, making it an ideal day for fishing. Sunrise was at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM. The water levels are slightly below normal, but this shouldn't hinder your fishing experience.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been robust, especially for white bass and stripers. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of white bass in the 20-30 feet depth range, particularly around bait balls. Stripers were also active in the same depth range, with some catches reported near the Devils River around sheer ledges.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    White bass are plentiful, and using rattle traps and spoons around bait balls has been highly effective. Stripers are also biting well on flutter spoons, swim baits, and large flutter spoons near deep channel ledges. Black bass are fair, with catches reported on main lake points and ledges using topwaters, flukes, and buzzbaits.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For white bass, rattle traps and spoons are your best bet. For stripers, go with flutter spoons, swim baits, and large flutter spoons. Black bass are responding well to topwaters, flukes, buzzbaits, and soft plastic jerkbaits.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots is between markers 17-23 on the Rio Grande, where white bass and stripers are actively chasing bait balls. Another good spot is the Devils River, particularly around the deep channel ledges where stripers tend to congregate.

    Overall, it's a great day to be out on the Rio Grande, with clear skies and active fish. Make sure to follow the birds and bait balls to increase your chances of a successful catch. Happy fishing
