Fishing Report
Lake Lamar Bruce - 5/13/2024 9:03:24 AMSpecies | Detail | |
Largemouth Bass | Bass have moved into their post-spawn pattern, and Texas-rigged soft plastics are working well. Crankbaits and flukes are also catching some fish, as well as some topwater lures. | |
Crappie | Crappie fishing is slow, as they are post-spawn and are being caught in deeper water than the bass are. | |
Bream | The bream bite has been fair to good recently, but a lot of small bluegill are being caught. The redear bite has picked up, and some very nice fish in the 10-12" range are being caught. Crickets fished under a cork for bluegill and worms for redear have been the hot baits lately. | |
Catfish | A few catfish are being caught by bream anglers, but aside from that, the bite has been slow. Tight lining liver and/or worms off the wooden and earthen piers in both the pond and the big lake can be productive. |
