Launch your boat from our central dock facility or from the gravel bar below the H-5 dam to fish downriver on the Guadalupe. There are many places to throw out a line along the riverbank in the park, at the lakefront, or by the boat canal. There is also a fishing area just below the H-5 dam spillgates that is lighted for night fishing. Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Yellow Cat and Channel Cat are the primary game fish. Perch are available if you want to catch your bait, and the park store sells bait including worms and minnows.
Largemouths take to the shallows for the spawning period.
In warmer weather, the bass hang close to boat dock pilings, lily pads and submerged stumps. When the water muddies, go to lighter-color baits. Keifer Slough offers lily pads and stumps as well as some relief from ski-wave action in warm months. Island shorelines are also a good bet in warm weather. Minnows and small jigs in lighter colors work best.
