Largemouth Bass Bass fishing is fair. Few anglers have been targeting bass at Eagle. The few that do have had success. Try targeting bass along the shorelines and shallow cypress trees with hollow body frogs, spinnerbaits, and lipless crankbaits.
Crappie Crappie fishing is good. Anglers have spread out and are having success shallow and in water 15-20 feet deep. Live minnows are working the best followed by soft plastics in blue sparkle and cajun cricket.
Bream Bream fishing has been fair with some anglers having success around the cypress trees on float row with crickets and red worms.
Catfish Catfishing has been fair. Target catfish with night crawlers or kool-aid soaked chicken parts tightlined in deep water. Some catfish are being caught on free floating fishing devices on the lake.
