Species Detail
Bass Water temperatures are still on the cooler side, which mean fish are less active. However, with warmer weather on the way, look for the activity start to pick up. Suspended crank baits, spinner baits, and worms are a good choice. Just fish them slow this time of year. Target deeper areas with underwater cover.
Crappie During the winter months crappie can be caught in the deeper sections of the lake near any deep structure. Look for any structure in the lake and try various depths. Using jigs or minnows is a good choice.
Bream Bream fishing during the winter months can be slow. Try using redworms at different depths.
Catfish Winter catfish are slow to bite. Try fishing near the bottom with liver, nightcrawlers, or cut bait.
