Fishing Report - Updated 6/25/24

BassBass bite is slowing as they are in a post spawn/summertime pattern. Texas-rigged plastics, crankbaits and shakeyheads may be the most productive. They are averaging between 12-15 inches in length. Low-light hours are best for topwater action. With the summer heat, target deeper water.
Crappie Crappie fishing is slowing down with the increase in temperature. The average length is between 11 and 13 inches. Minnows near the piers are getting some action for bank anglers. Try fish attractors for boat anglers. The low-light hours and deeper waters are most productive. 
BreamBream fishing is good, averaging between 5 to 7 inches in size. Red worms and minnows have been the most productive bait. Anglers are targeting cover along drop-offs just out from traditional bedding areas.
Catfish Catfish bite is fair. Some anglers have been successful in depths of 10-18 feet along sandy bottoms. Tight-lining liver and/or hotdogs can be productive, as well as stink bait and cutbait.
