How We Roll on the Water
Let's break down how we make the magic happen. We're not just tossing lines and hoping for the best. Nope, we're using tried-and-true techniques that put fish in the boat. Live bait is the name of the game here – we're talking shad that make those hybrids and cats go nuts. We'll be bottom bouncing, which is fancy talk for dragging bait along the lake floor where the big boys hang out. It's a technique that takes some skill, but don't worry – your guide's got you covered. You'll be a pro by the end of the day.

You'll learn tricks and tips that'll up your fishing game no matter where you cast a line.
Fish You'll Want to Tangle With
Let's talk targets. First up, hybrid striped bass. These bad boys are a cross between stripers and white bass, and they fight like they've got something to prove. They school up and when you find 'em, it's game on. Expect some serious pull – these fish can easily top 10 pounds. Spring and fall are prime time, but we can get on 'em year-round.
Next, we've got white bass. Don't let their size fool you – what they lack in heft, they make up for in numbers and fight. When they're running, you can literally catch 'em till your arms give out. They're most active in spring during the spawn, but we can find 'em all year.
Last but not least, blue catfish. These are the bruisers of Lewisville Lake. We're talking fish that can top 50 pounds – no kidding. They love the deep holes and ledges, and when one takes your bait, you'd better hold on tight. Summer and early fall are peak seasons, but these whiskered giants bite year-round.
Time to Get Your Fish On
Look, I could go on all day about the fish, the lake, and the awesome time you're gonna have. But here's the bottom line: This trip is the real deal. Whether you're looking to land your personal best, learn some new tricks, or just have a blast on the water, we've got you covered. Spots fill up fast, especially during prime seasons, so don't wait. Grab your spot now and get ready for a day of fishing you'll be bragging about for years to come. Trust me, once you fish Lewisville Lake with ZD Fishing, you'll be planning your next trip before you even get off the water.
Learn more about the species
Blue Catfish
Blue cats are the heavyweights of Lewisville Lake, often reaching 25-46 inches and 80+ pounds. These opportunistic predators hang out near deep holes and channels, especially where creeks feed into the lake. They'll eat just about anything, but fresh-cut bait is your best bet. Let it sink to the bottom and wait for that telltale nibble. Blues put up a serious fight, so bring sturdy gear and gloves for a good grip on these slippery giants. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but you can catch them year-round. Locals know to target areas with good current flow after a rain - that's when blues get really active. These fish aren't just fun to catch; they make excellent table fare too. Just remember, the bigger ones can hold some mercury, so it's best to keep the smaller ones for eating.
Striped Bass
Stripers in Lewisville are hard-fighting fish that'll test your gear. These powerful predators can top 20 pounds, with most catches in the 5-15 pound range. They roam the lake chasing shad, so look for them near points, humps, and along the river channel. Early morning and late evening are prime times, especially when the water's choppy. Live bait like shad or big minnows works well, but artificial lures like deep-diving crankbaits and big topwaters can provoke explosive strikes. Stripers school up, so when you find one, there's usually more nearby. A local tip: troll the main lake points in summer using downriggers to get your bait deep. Fall's a great time as they feed heavily before winter. These fish put up an amazing fight and taste great on the grill, making them a favorite target for Lewisville anglers.
White Bass
White bass, or sand bass, are some of the most fun fish to catch in Lewisville. These silver-sided fighters usually run 10-12 inches, but can hit 18 inches and 3-4 pounds. Look for them schooling near points and humps, especially during their spring spawn run up river arms. They're aggressive feeders, so small jigs, spinners, or live minnows all work well. White bass fight hard for their size, often going airborne. The best action is typically early morning or late evening when they push bait to the surface. A local trick: watch for diving birds to find feeding schools. Cast just beyond the frenzy and retrieve through it. These tasty fish are great eating too, so they're popular with all types of anglers. In summer, try fishing deeper with jigging spoons near underwater structure.
