Fishing Report - 6/25/2024
| Species | Detail | |
|---|---|---|
| Bass | The bass bite could be called fair to good. The increase in temperature has slowed down some of the fishing pressure. Low-light hours will be the most productive in the summertime pattern. Buzzbaits, frogs, and weedless swimbaits have been popular lure choices. Some anglers are targeting spotted bass north of the mouth of the old river with spinnerbaits, shakeyheads, and crankbaits along the rip rap. | |
| Crappie | The crappie bite has slowed down recently. The increase in temperature is pushing the Crappie out much deeper especially during the day. Target deeper structure and backwater areas. Try jigs and minnows and alternate as one may out produce the other on any given day. | |
| Catfish | The catfish bite is starting to pick up. Nightcrawlers, liver, and cut bait fished along the bottom have been best. Most anglers are using trotlines or jugs, but a few anglers are starting to target catfish with rod-n-reel combos. Those going for flathead are having success with hand grabbing and/or live bait. |
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.
