Fishing Report - Updated 12/2/2024
| Bass | Lake Lamar Bruce is a good second choice (behind Bay Springs) for some decent winter fishing for bass. Typically, bass will be relating to the creek channel once the water temps get into the low to mid 40’s. A good depth finder is important, but once found, they will hit jigging spoons, hair jigs, and small plastics. Best depths will range from 15 to 30 feet. Warmer days will push some fish shallow around the points and flooded timber. If this occurs, Alabama-rigs, suspending jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits will be good bait choices to find active fish |
| Crappie | Target cover along drop-offs in the 10 – 20 ft. depth range and along the creek channel. Both hair jigs and minnows will get you some bites. |
| Bream | For bream, target the points and the earthen piers as fish will move up and down them depending of the water temps. Any deeper cover around those points should hold fish. The deep flats along the northwest side of the lake are also popular for bream anglers during the winter. Tight lining worms is typically the best technique during the cold months. |
| Catfish | The catfish bite will be very slow during the cold season. Anglers typically tight line liver and/or worms off the wooden and earthen piers in both the pond and the big lake. |
Reminder: All Walleye caught must be released immediately.
Weekly fishing reports will resume on February 15th, 2025.
