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.

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.
