De Gray lake Advice

[howards cowards]

Headed to De Gray this weekend. Any advice on any species is greatly appreciated.

I've heard reports that the hybrids, blacks, and kentuckys are schooling in mornings. Top water fishing has been excellent!

If you know where brushy creek is you can expect hybrids to school out from the 200-300yrds off main point on the south side of the lake. just drive around til you see them break. throw you a spook or a sammy

Yeah I'd say chase those hybrids and spots from what everyone else said here.  I'm sure you wanna crappie fish too but I think you'd have more luck with the small bass and they aren't bad to eat themselves coming out of that cold water.  I'd have either a chug bug or a spook tied on for the TW action, then have a 1/2 to 3/4OZ CC spoon tied on and watching your graph for the submerged bite.  Next thing I'd have tied on would be a C-rig for those rocky points tossing some sort of small craw-like creature. Good luck I'd love to be there but too much work and not enough off time here.  By the way that Brushy creek they talk about has some of the better fishing on the lake from what I seen when it comes to bass...that and a few of the islands out in the middle of nowhere but be careful if you don't know the lake, lots of underwater, unmarked humps in that lake.

Got to fish sat morn. 6am till 11am. Launched out of Caddo. Fished from edgewood to caddo early. Looked for schooling TW bass. None to be found. caught 1 on a Bomber. Went and tried Brushy Creek. No TW there either. Did pick up a couple more on a C rig. Talked with a couple guys on the lake. They had not caught a thing. Hosts of Caddo said the cold front has put a different pattern on the lake. It seemed like the Thermocline was around 20 ft.
