Fishing Report

Lake Lowndes - 4/17/2024 10:28:35 AM
Species Detail
Largemouth Bass Bass fishing is fair to good. Most fish are being caught in 5' of water or less. Jerkbaits, jigs, and T-rigged soft plastics are all good choices.
Crappie The crappie bite has picked up some. Jigs or jig/minnow combinations will be the best bait choices.
Bream Bream fishing is fair. Tightlining redworms, nightcrawlers, or mealworms works well, as do crickets.
Catfish Target the creek channel and around the deeper points with night crawlers, cut shad, and/or liver. Tight lining is the most popular technique for catfish.
