Expert Lake Lewisville Fishing: 8-Hour Adventure

Lake Lewisville Fishing: 8-Hour Crappie & Bass Bonanza

Ready for a real Texas-sized fishing adventure? Our 8-hour trip on Lake Lewisville is the perfect way to spend a day on the water, whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet. We'll be chasing after some of the lake's most popular game fish – crappie and white bass – and trust me, when these fish are biting, it's non-stop action. With room for two guests, you'll have plenty of elbow room to cast and reel in your catch. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's hit the lake!

What to Expect on the Water

We'll kick things off bright and early at 7:30 AM – that's when the fish are most active and the lake is nice and calm. You'll hop aboard our fully-equipped fishing boat, where we've got all the gear you need to land some lunkers. Don't worry if you're new to fishing; I'll show you the ropes and have you casting like a pro in no time. We'll cruise around to my favorite honey holes, using tried-and-true techniques to get those fish biting. And hey, even if the fish aren't cooperating (which is rare), the views of Lake Lewisville are worth the trip alone.

Fishing Techniques & Gear

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of techniques to target crappie and white bass. For crappie, we often use a method called "spider rigging" – it's like having multiple lines in the water at once, giving us a better shot at finding where the fish are hanging out. We'll be using light tackle with small jigs or minnows, perfect for enticing those tasty crappie. When we're after white bass, we might switch to trolling or casting with small spoons or crankbaits. I'll bring along my favorite fish finder too, so we can spot those underwater schools and really get into the action. Don't sweat it if you're not familiar with these techniques – I'll walk you through everything step-by-step.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Crappie are the stars of the show on Lake Lewisville, and for good reason. These tasty panfish are a blast to catch and even better to eat. They tend to hang out around underwater structure like brush piles and submerged trees. In the spring, you can often find them in shallow water, but as summer heats up, they'll move to deeper haunts. The best part? When you find one crappie, you've usually found a whole school. They're not the biggest fighters, but landing a slab crappie is still a thrill.

White bass, on the other hand, are the speedsters of the lake. These feisty fish often travel in large schools, chasing shad near the surface. When we find a school of white bass, hang on to your rod because it's about to get crazy! They hit hard and fight all the way to the boat. Spring is prime time for white bass as they make their spawning runs up the tributaries, but we can catch them year-round on the main lake. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the excitement of a topwater feeding frenzy when these bass are busting shad on the surface.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Lake Lewisville isn't just any old fishing hole – it's a 29,000-acre playground for anglers. The lake's diverse habitat, from shallow coves to deep channels, means there's always somewhere to wet a line. And with its proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth, you can go from city to seclusion in no time. But what really keeps folks coming back is the quality of the fishing. Whether it's a stringer full of crappie or a limit of white bass, Lake Lewisville consistently produces great catches. Plus, there's always the chance of hooking into a trophy-sized fish – we've seen some real monsters come out of this lake!

Top Catches This Season

This year has been red-hot for both crappie and white bass on Lake Lewisville. We've been seeing lots of crappie in the 1-2 pound range, with a few slabs pushing 3 pounds. That's a heck of a crappie, folks! The white bass action has been just as good, with limits being caught regularly. We even had a day where we boated over 100 white bass – talk about sore arms! And it's not just about numbers; the size of the fish has been impressive too. We're talking about white bass up to 3 pounds, which will give you a real fight on light tackle.
