Lavon Lake - Collin, TX Fishing Report on 19th Aug, 2025

Lake Lavon Fishing Guide Report: Crappie: 12-15 ft on brush and timber. 1/16 th oz jig. Any color. Minnows working well too. The problem with the minnows is, you will catch a ton of babies so you will go through a pound of minnows in no time- I prefer to use jigs to save money. There are not many fish below 18 foot. Black Bass: as usual, the white and chartreuse spinner Bait has been super fun in the mornings along with soft plastic jerk baits, like the original Slugo would work great. Texas rigged without a weight twitching it making it dance underneath the surface. If the water is super clear that has been my go to for the last week. If it’s not clear, I will be throwing a 3 to 6 foot crawfish colored square bill. Bouncing it all over the boat ramps all the rip wrap surrounding them and any of the rip wrap you can find, is putting a limit usually in the boat before eight in the morning. If it’s past eight in the morning and you’re still out there, I would probably switch over to a 12 foot KVD series 5 sexy Shad 12 ft diver at around 8:30 in the morning. Soft plastics in darker colors, watermelon red preferably all have been working well Texas rigged, or creature baits Carolina rigged. The Alabama rigs seem to be spooking them a little bit. They seem to like that a lot better in October. Brush piles using a swim bait, gliding over the brush piles, will get a rise if one is in it. White Bass: it’s been 15 foot for the last two weeks. White RSR slabs 1 ounce Nd cut all the treble hooks off except one as it makes life easier and you don’t have a trail of dead babies that take all three barbs behind the boat. Little Ridge Point, Hybrid Point, and sometimes the island tip have been great. Every day this week we have limited out on Sam’s bass by 745 am at the latest. Tying a jig around 12 inches above your slab on a loop knot, you will catch two fish at a time. Two times this week I’ve had one client limited out in 13 drops As soon as we got there she caught 26 keeper fish in three drops. She had to let one go. For some reason, they are still spooked by the thumper. It’s very odd. I’ve never seen this before. But the splash is still working 100% bringing them to the boat and usually before your liver hits the bottom we’re getting slammed. Catfish: 15 foot on the flats, especially near the drop offs throw some maze out all around the boat and they will show up and they look like sand bass schooling on your screen. You’re gonna have to weed through a lot of babies, but you could catch your limit within an hour or two w punch bait after you bait all around your boat.
