It's a great time of year to spend some time outdoors in Texas. Sure, temperatures will be hot across the Lone Star State the next week or so, but temperatures in the morning and evening should be nice and during the middle of day it should be in the 90's or upper 80's. Not bad at all.

So where should you be fishing in September? The good news is that Texas has a lot of great spots to fish. From lakes to ponds, there are plenty of spots where you will enjoy fishing. And the good news is, with help from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, not only can you find an enjoyable spot to fish, but you might just find a place where the fish are biting.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife website updates each week their fishing report site. Fishing reports are normally updated by Thursday morning and the information is collected by a third party who spoke with fishing guides, marinas, and bait shops.

Here are some examples of what you can see in the fishing reports each week from lakes around Texas.
