A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Maria

On a first trip to Maria, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish Lake Maria

Spring around Maria is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Maria can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
