Sheldon is tiny. Go stump hunt the cypress trees when the pads are covering the reservoir. It’s also all no wake. One a couple of deeper 10-12 foot holes. So fish the islands and the cypress trees. Can be explored in a day easily.
This lake is loaded with catfish. Lots of Blue catfish and decent numbers of channel cats. Some of the best baits for Blue cats are fresh dead shad, and Bream/Sunfish for cut bait. Channel cats are great on chicken liver and chicken hearts. During the spring fish the bulkheads. Yes they are called bulkheads NOT seawalls. Water clarity suffers due to the out of control and mostly unregulated sand mining that takes place in the East and West Forks of the San Jacinto River. That and zero governmental oversight of new developments in the Lake Houston watershed not adhering to environmental regulations that when followed would prevent dirty runoff.
@@SimplisticFishing two 9s caught this spring but nothing over 10. Hopefully broken next year. There has been Florida strain stocking in recent past. It's a flip and frog lake.
I’ve fished Lake Houston for 35 years. Main lake is trash. Tournaments are never won on main lake. Everyone goes up Luces Bayou, East Fork, West Fork, or Caney creek.
WOW...... Thank You Sir.........well done!!

Thank you so much for the info! Sad they are not regulating it.
The feature of Lake Houston is the big slab crappie
I've heard that from several people. Looks like I know where I need to go this winter. :)
Are the boat ramps shown, all public ramps?
No. Several are private community ramps. Most people launch at the ramp off 1960.
10lb still record.
90% of tournaments won North of Bridge
Thank you for the info! Shocked it's only a 10lbr there has to be something bigger in there.

What’s a laydown?
A laydown is a tree that is partially submerged or fully submerged in the water.
@@SimplisticFishing thanks for taking your time to explain!
Send me info to obtain map!! Will need instructions on how to use it!!
We have everything on our site www.simplsiticfishing.com. You will also notice a how-to tab that gives you full instructions.
There’s not a lot of public places to fish that lake. Most of the lake is lake front property.
Thanks for the input Jamal!

Lake Houston is absolutely terrible. Make the extra 30 min drive to Conroe
I have heard that from a few people.
