Fishing Report
Lake Lowndes - 3/21/2023 8:12:08 AM| Species | Detail | |
| Largemouth Bass | There's been very few fishermen on the lake recently due to the weather, and reports are sparse. Bass fishing is fair, with some bass beginning to be caught in shallower water. Crankbaits, and soft plastics are catching a few fish. | |
| Crappie | Crappie fishing has been fair, but the cold snap has dropped the water temps several degrees and may have pushed the fish out deeper. Jigs or jig/minnow combinations will be the best bait choices. | |
| Bream | Bream fishing has been slow, and very few bream anglers have shown up at the lake. Target bream around cover in the 6 – 10 ft. depth range. Typically, tight lining worms is the best technique during the cold months. | |
| Catfish | A catfish weighing over 28 pounds was caught at the lake recently from the fishing pier. Tightlining with cut bait seems to be working as well as anything else right now. | |
Water temperature: 58
