Grapevine Lake Largemouth Bass Tips:
- So water was mainly 44-46 in most places around the lake. Fish farely deep on the main lake and couldn't get bit. Fish are not on main lake points or drops. Work you way into the secondary points and ditches/channels in the back of creeks. Water back there is in the 47-49 range. With this snow Tues 4/23 not totall sure what thats going to do with them temps. Shad Pattern Traps and Shakey Heads with Grn/Pumpkin Red or Wat Candy/ Red Trick worms! The Bite is tough tough to come by!

Largemouth Bass Tips for Current Conditions:
Largemouth bass fishing is going to be pretty slow at 82 degree water temperature. Bass will start moving much slower and feeding less aggressively until the water temperature starts to get back down to comfortable levels. When the water temperature is up this high, it's time to get out fishing early and late in the day when the sun is not on the water. When you can get out for the entire day, it's a great time to fish some deeper water. Many large bass are taken this time of year since bass fishermen typically gets out deeper and fish slower with larger baits. Like any other time of year, the slower you fish with bigger baits on the deep drops and river channels, the better chance you have at a lunker. This is a great time to catch a trophy. Good luck out there today!

Grapevine Lake Crappie Tips:
Crappie Tips for Current Conditions:
Your lake crappie will be much more lethargic in the water temperature. They will be in deeper and cooler water. Crappie will be feeding; however they will not be feeding aggressively unless the other fishing factors are at prime levels. Find some moving water that is clear and you should find some more aggressive fishing.

Grapevine Lake Walleye Tips:
- No Walleye in Grapevine Lake
Walleye Tips for Current Conditions:
With the water temperatures up this high, the walleye will really be moving slow and feeding even slower. It will be extremely difficult to stay on fish and catch good numbers. There will be good days that you can find a good pattern and fill the live well up. The good days of walleye fishing will be fewer and farther between until the water temperature gets back down. Good luck.

Catfish Tips for Current Conditions:
Unlike most North American fish species, blue catfish, flathead and channel catfish are comfortable when the water temperature is this high. They will be feeding and moving in typical patterns. You will start having a little better luck if you can get to some moving water that is adding a little more oxygen for the baitfish and the catfish will be there also.

Grapevine Lake Fishing Reports
February 19th, 2010
Report By:
Steve Lynam
Fishing Rating: 3      Water Temperature: 51
Bass fishing numbers have slowed down a bit as water temps near the 50 degree mark, but some quality fish are geing caught. The keys are to slow down and fish deeper this time of year. Other factors I key on are rocks and baitfish. Find them and you will usually find fish. Guide Trips available. Call 817-944-2441
Grapevine Lake Solar and Lunar Conditions
Current Lunar Fishing Tip:
The affects of the moon on freshwater fish and game are at a minimum right now. There will be a new moon coming up here in a few days. The fisherman should never use this as an excuse to not get on the water. The affects of the moon can only enhance the outcome of a day's fishing not decrease potential catch for today. On days without the new or full moon, all other factors including weather, barometric pressure, wind and cloud cover will make up today's equation for success.
