Fishing Report - Updated 12/09/24

BassFishing has been good.  Focus fishing effort with soft plastics in a green/black/red coloration.  Minnows and spinner baits also work well.  The topwater bite is good in the early mornings and late evenings around lily pads.  Fishing will begin to slow as the temperature remains cooler.
Crappie Fishing has been good.  Focus fishing effort with smaller jigs or minnows.  Look for structure and do not be afraid to use a spray-on fish attractant.  Fishing will begin to slow as the temperature remains cooler.
BreamFishing has been fair.  Focus fishing effort near vegetation with small beetle spin or fish using redworms, nightcrawlers, and crickets.  Fishing will begin to slow as the temperature remains cooler.
Catfish Fishing has been fair.  Focus fishing effort on the bottom with red worms, liver, and other stink baits.  Fishing will begin to slow as the temperature remains cooler.
