Osborne Chain-of-Lakes

Butterfly Peacock Bass and Largemouth Bass fish should be good this time of year while bass are in post spawn patterns and peacocks are more actively feeding with the warmer weather. Largemouth Bass should be targeted in deeper water near spawning areas and fishing should be good in the early morning on topwater lures and later with crank baits, and live shiners. Also, consider trying jigs or plastic worms. Butterfly Peacock Bass are best targeted around vegetation and structure with topwater lures, fast moving shad like baits, and live shiners. The Osborne Chain of Lake is also an excellent place to target Bluegill and trophy sized Redear Sunfish and the Redear Sunfish and Bluegill bite should start to pick up this time of year. Anglers should target patches of eel grass for best results. Grass shrimp, crickets, and small jigs have been the preferred baits for Bluegill and Redear Sunfish. Nice size channel catfish can be caught using chicken liver or live worms.
