Highly Recommended Bait, Tackle & Gear
Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass are the most pursued sportfish in Lake Conroe. In summer soft plastics, topwaters, spinnerbaits and live baitfish all have the potential to lure big largemouths, but crank baits are the top producing bait at this time. The Crankbait should run deep enough to bump the bottom occasionally on the retrieve.
Channel Catfish Preferred Bait
Giant catfish generally inhabit deeper waters and are the most abundant sportfish in the lake, but will congregate toward shallow flats during the summer nights to feed and can be caught usually on stinky smelly natural baits like chicken livers or cut shad.
