Hey Fishing Freaks! This week I’m bass fishing at the site of the 2017 Bassmaster Classic on Lake Conroe. The tournament kicks on this week and the pros have been pre fishing the lake as well. I’m joined by buddies at Anglr Labs to track data on about the lake and all the fish that are being caught this week. This lake always gives me a hard time, and today was no exception. The shad spawning in the morning allowed us to get a few bites around some rocks early, but when the sun came out we switched up to fishing docks. Fishing the docks, we got some bites but with little success getting them into the boat. After hours of fishing and only a few bass, we went into the back of a small creek and found a good group of bass staging up to spawn. The hard bottom was helping to hold the fish and we ended up catching a few good largemouth around 4lbs. In the bassmaster classic it is going to take some 6 and 7 lb bass in the boat every day to be in contention to win this tournament. Our day was decent, but still not good enough to be at the top of the bassmaster tournament.

Don’t you do actual BASS Tournaments? I could swear you do! And any pointers for Conroe? I’m completely new to there as I usually fish Somerville.
Caught my pb there
Hey LFG! QUESTION for you….my best buddy from the Army recently moved to Conroe, TX. He has never fished Lake Conroe. I am flying in from NJ to spend a week with him and get out on the lake. Can you give me any advise to what the bass should be doing at this time of year? 1st or 2nd week of May. Any advise that would help us put some PBs in the boat would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I live 5 minutes from Lake Contoe
Wish you and Tony from #Venturetube would colab on the yaks.
Where do you get a fishin freak hat at?
It's really cool to see you at my home lake! It's a tough lake to fish, due to lack of structure on the south end. but there are some monsters hiding in there!
I've caught 25lb kitties trolling square bill crank baits and huge carp on curly tail crappie jigs along the shore
carbonated drinks stop Gill bleeds.
"put him in the live well""hell yeah" tosses crappie back in water

the black fin on the bass you caught is known as blotchy bass syndrome. It is caused by endocrine disruptors that interfere with the bass pigmentation. Where I fish in the north it seems to be most prevalent from late fall to early spring.
