Fishing Report
Eagle Lake - 4/23/2024 9:08:11 AMSpecies | Detail | |
Largemouth Bass | Bass fishing is fair. Few anglers have been targeting bass at Eagle. The few that do have had success. Try targeting bass along the shorelines and shallow cypress trees with hollow body frogs, spinnerbaits, and lipless crankbaits. | |
Crappie | Crappie fishing has been good. Anglers are still having success but the fishing is getting tougher. Fish are scattered between spawning and post spawn habitats in depths ranging for 2 feet out to 20 feet. Hair jigs, and soft plastics in cajun cricket, electric chicken, and key lime pie have produced bites. | |
Bream | Bream fishing has been poor, but the fish being caught are large. Try bream fishing around, piers, in muddy bayou, and in buck chute. | |
Catfish | Catfishing has been fair. Target catfish with night crawlers or kool-aid soaked chicken parts tightlined in deep water. Some catfish are being caught on free floating fishing devices on the lake. | |
White Bass | Try targeting white bass around piers with little georges and spinnerbaits. |
