Fishing Report
Lake Lamar Bruce - 8/4/2020 11:21:52 AM| Species | Detail | |
| Largemouth Bass | The bass bite continues to be fair. Anglers are targeting shallow cover in the coves early and late in the day with various topwater lures like poppers, buzzbaits, and frogs. During the day, anglers are moving deeper and targeting deeper points and other offshore structure with crankbaits, Texas/Carolina-rigged plastics, shakeyheads, and jigs. | |
| Crappie | The crappie report continues to be poor. The few fish being caught are coming from brush tops and cover in deeper water and along the levee. Try both jigs and minnows to see which the fish prefer as it changes frequently. | |
| Bream | The bream bite continues to be good. Anglers are catching most of their fish just out from spawning areas along the points and the earthen piers. Most anglers are tight lining crickets and worms along the primary drop-offs in 4 – 8 ft. of water. | |
| Catfish | The catfish bite is fair. Anglers are tight lining liver and worms off the wooden and earthen piers. Some anglers are catching a few catfish around the wooden pier in the pond as well. | |
