Fishing Report - 10/28/2024
| Species | Detail | |
|---|---|---|
| Bass | The bass bite is slowing down. Fall is upon us and the fishing is up and down this month. Low-light hours will be the most productive. Expect that as the temperature decreases, the bite should improve. Points and laydowns along the channel are holding a few fish it seems. Buzzbaits, frogs, and weedless swimbaits have been popular lure choices. Spinnerbaits, shaky heads, and crankbaits along the rip rap are good choices. Anglers are continuing to target deeper banks in backwater areas such as Camp Pratt and Big Coalfire. Don't overlook the smaller creeks like James and Kincaid. | |
| Crappie | The crappie bite is slow. Look for the fall bite to continue through the rest of this month and into November. Target the deeper structure and backwater areas for some bites. Try jigs and minnows and alternate as one may out produce the other on any given day. | |
| Catfish | The catfish bite is fair along the navigation channel and the mouths of the old river runs. Nightcrawlers, liver, whole and cut bait fished along the bottom are best. Most anglers are using trotlines or jugs, but a some anglers target catfish with rod-n-reel combos. |
Giant salvinia is a highly invasive aquatic plant found throughout the Tenn-Tom Waterway. It is critical that anglers visiting the lake clean their boats and boat trailers to reduce the possibility of transferring this plant to other water bodies. Giant salvinia is extremely difficult to eradicate once it becomes established.
