Fishing Report

Lake Bogue Homa - 4/23/2024 10:22:27 AM
Species Detail
Largemouth Bass Fishing has been good. Focus fishing effort with soft plastics in a green/black/red coloration. Minnows and spinner baits also work well. Fish have been biting in the shallows.
Crappie Fishing has been good. Focus fishing effort with soft plastics in a green/black/red coloration. Minnows and spinner baits also work well. A spray-on fish attractant is also helpful because a large part of the crappie’s predatory instinct is scent driven. Fish have been biting in the shallows.
Bream Fishing has been fair. Focus fishing effort near vegetation with small beetle spin or fish using redworms, nightcrawlers, and crickets. Fish have been biting in 4-6 feet of water.
Catfish Fishing has been fair. Focus fishing effort on the bottom with red worms, liver, and other stink baits. Fish have been biting in the early mornings and late evenings near the piers and past the spillway.
