April Fishing On Lake Conroe Texas
Best Tips for Catching Catfish and Hybrid Striped Bass on Lake Conroe Lake Conroe is a top fishing destination in Texas, offering excellent opportunities to catch catfish and hybrid striped bass. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, these tips will help you maximize your fishing trip and reel in more fish! Best Time to Fish on Lake Conroe Catfish: Catfish bite year-round, but the best time to catch them is early morning or late evening. Night fishing is also effective, especially in the summer. Hybrid Striped Bass: These fish are most active in spring and fall, particularly during dawn and dusk when they chase baitfish near the surface. Top Locations for Catfish & Hybrid Striped Bass Catfish Hotspots: The deeper channels, creek mouths, and areas near the dam are prime spots. Look for areas with a muddy bottom where catfish like to feed. Hybrid Striped Bass Locations: These fish tend to school near humps, ledges, and open water. Using a fish finder can help locate active schools. Best Bait & Tackle Catfish: Live bait: Shad, bluegill, or nightcrawlers Prepared bait: Chicken liver, stink bait, and punch bait work well Gear: A medium-heavy rod with a strong leader and a circle hook is ideal Hybrid Striped Bass: Live bait: Threadfin shad or minnows Artificial lures: Swimbaits, spoons, and topwater lures are effective Gear: Medium-action spinning or baitcasting rods with a fast retrieve reel Fishing Techniques For Catfish: Use bottom fishing techniques with a slip sinker rig. Drifting along deep channels can also be productive. For Hybrid Striped Bass: Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or jigging with spoons can be effective in finding schools of fish. Book a Guided Fishing Trip! Want to increase your chances of landing a big catch? Book a Lake Conroe fishing trip with an experienced guide! Whether you’re looking for a fun family outing or a serious fishing adventure, we’ll take you to the best spots and provide all the gear you need.

Spring Break Is Near
Planning a fishing trip to Lake Conroe during Spring Break 2025 promises an exciting experience, as March is a prime time for various fish species. Here's what you can expect: Fishing Conditions in March: Black Bass (Largemouth Bass): March marks the spawning season for largemouth bass. These fish are typically found in the back of protected coves and creeks, where the water warms up earlier. DOCKLINEMAGAZINE.COM Catfish: Catfish are abundant and can be caught using baited holes with liver, catfish bubblegum, and punch bait. Drifting natural baits is also effective, yielding both eater-sized and trophy-class catches. TPWD.TEXAS.GOV Hybrid Striped Bass and Crappie: These species are active during this period. Guided trips can enhance your chances of a successful catch. Weather Considerations: In early March, temperatures in Conroe, Texas, typically range from lows around 6.7°C (44°F) to highs up to 28.3°C (83°F). Weather can vary, so it's advisable to check the forecast as your trip approaches.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 29, 2025
Captain James took us on a catfishing trip and it was an amazing time, we caught a bunch of fish and shared lots of memories for my dad’s 90th birthday! I highly recommend Captain James
May 29, 2025
Captain James was fantastic! He was very polite, accommodating and patient with us. He was a great guide for my group of beginners but I could tell he would be just as wonderful to host experienced fishermen as well. He was super knowledgeable about the Lake and he knew the best spots to fish. He helped us every step of the way and made sure we had everything we needed for a good time. We caught upwards of 30 fish in our time with him. He has great fishing techniques and tips, great equipment, and a very well equipped boat. He was even nice enough to clean and filet the fish we caught and gave us some cooking tips. We will definitely be using James again for another Lake Conroe outing, he is a wonderful steward of Lake Conroe and a true fisherman.
May 29, 2025
I told him I was keen on catching catfish, and he certainly delivered. He knows the best spots and is incredibly knowledgeable about his craft—I learned a lot while on the boat. You absolutely have to experience a trip with him on the water. Hands down, he's the best fishing guide I've ever chartered.
May 29, 2025
Captain James was a great help on the trip with my son and I. He was knowledgeable and very patient with us since we had not fished freshwater. He encouraged my son and he is now hooked on fishing freshwater. It was a great day both with my son and Captain James. Great fishing and even better conversation. Smile all around.
May 29, 2025
Captain James is amazing! He was very patient with me as I do not fish a lot and he was very knowledgeable! I think he also was able to teach my husband a thing or two as well :). I would definitely recommend this tour with Captain James! We will be back for sure!!!
May 29, 2025
Thanks Cap! Took my 84 yr young Mom and her sister my Aunt on an April afternoon trip. Awesome Trip! About 30 cats in the box and Cap filleted them the way Mom wanted! Cap did his best keeping the girls in the shade! My wife also had a great time! Thanks again Cap for making this a memorable day with my Mom and Aunt! Jesse Cuellar
