Fishing Report
| Species | Detail | |
|---|---|---|
| Bass | The bite has slowed down some recently. An early morning/late evening shallow bite continues as bass chase baitfish in the shallows. The patches of grass with deeper water nearby seem to be the most productive ones. Try flukes and senkos around the grass if the fish aren’t committed to hitting a topwater lure. The bite during the day continues to be slow. Anglers are using Texas/Carolina-rigs, jigs, shakeyheads, and drop-shots along off shore structure. Other anglers are targeting the deeper grass lines during the day with Texas-rigged worms, spinnerbaits, and swimbaits. | |
| Crappie | Anglers continue to target deeper brush tops and cover with both minnows and jigs. Most anglers are targeting areas from Five Fingers and up toward Crow’s Neck. Pulling or trolling along the creek channels is another good option if you can’t find fish in deeper brush tops. Some fish may also be found along the deeper grass lines in the main lake. | |
| Catfish | Not many reports coming in for catfish, but the bite has been fair with most folks catching fish on rod-n-reels and jugs fishing between Bay Springs and Pickwick in the canal. That particular bite around the spill offs can be especially good after afternoon showers pass through. Nightcrawlers and whole/cut shad have been the best baits. |
