WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Martin Creek Lake is a 5,000-acre power plant cooling reservoir in Rusk County, East Texas, one of the premier largemouth bass fisheries in the state, where the warm-water discharge from the Martin Creek Power Plant keeps water temperatures elevated year-round, creating exceptional winter bass fishing that draws anglers from across Texas during the cold months when other lakes are slow. Spot Features: Martin Creek Lake is a 5,000-acre power plant cooling reservoir in Rusk County, Texas, near Tatum, maintained at elevated temperatures year-round by the Martin Creek Power Plant discharge, creating exceptional winter bass fishing when most Texas lakes are cold. Largemouth bass with standard Texas bass techniques, crappie on jigs in spring, blue catfish with cut bait. Seasonality: Largemouth bass are the primary year-round sport fish at Martin Creek Lake in the mild East Texas climate, with the elevated temperatures from the Luminant power plant discharge keeping fish active year-round and particularly productive in winter. Black crappie are excellent in spring during the spawn. Blue catfish feed actively through the warmer months.

GGuest 01 November 2021As the lake is used to cool a power plant, winter fishing is great there. The area itself has good campsites, great bathrooms, docks, and so on. You can live there in tents. If you're looking for food, visit the nearby city Tatum.
