May 2022 Conroe Fishing Report

 

Black Bass:  Now that the spawn is over, the shallow water bite can still be good due to the shad and other baitfish in the shallows during the early morning hours.  Texas rigged worms and spinner baits work well during this time of day.  Once the sun comes up and bass move to deeper structure, I like to use a Carolina worm rig and fish submerged roadbeds, pond dams and points in 8’ – 12’ of water.

Crappie:  Fair crappie action is good by fishing minnows and jigs around brush piles and bridge pilings in 12’ – 20’ depths.  Try moving from one location to another after the bite slows down from each spot.

White Bass & Hybrid Striped Bass:  This is probably the best month of the year for the most active bite for white bass and hybrids.  I start out by trolling pet spoons over humps and main lake points to catch and locate the best action.  If they are along the bottom, I will try bouncing slab spoons in these areas.

Catfish:  This is another great time of year for catching good numbers of nice sized catfish.  Baiting up areas you plan to fish will increase the action.  Areas such as river and creek channels or under the 1097 Bridge are prime fishing areas in the early morning hours.  Dip baits and shrimp are both good bait choices at this time of year.
