Spring is in the air, water temperature of the Lake warming and the shad are heading for the bulkheads all around the Lake. Many Lake Conroe residents are finding it very relaxing and enjoyable to just fish in their own backyards or in a subdivision park or community area. Many of our residents forget that the fish are on the bulkheads in large numbers this time of year to spawn and feeding on shad that are also spawning. Early and late you can find hybrid bass along many bulkheads feeding on the shad. They usually will back off the bulkheads as soon as the sun comes up. Catfish are also plentiful along the bulkheads most of the day. They may scamper under a dock into a shady area; but, will hold close most of the day. You can use shad for bait for hybrids or throwing a Rattle-L-Trap or Storm Swimming Minnow make good baits for hybrids early. The catfish also like the shad for bait or you can use Stick!It, nightcrawlers, shrimp orchicken live. The hybrids are also very fond of chicken liver. Now is the time to catch lots of fish from the bank…no boat necessary!
