Fishing Report
Lake Lamar Bruce - 4/17/2024 10:21:44 AMSpecies | Detail | |
Largemouth Bass | Bass are in various phases of the spawn, and the bite has been good lately. Texas-rigged lizards, creature baits and shakeyheads are all catching fish. | |
Crappie | Similar to the bass, the crappie are spawning. Any cover in 4-10' of water should be holding fish. Jigs are the go-to baits right now. | |
Bream | The bream bite is improving, but hasn't really taken off yet. Tightlining earthworms, mealworms, or redworms from the earthen piers may produce some shellcrackers. | |
Catfish | No reports on catfish. Tight lining liver and/or worms off the wooden and earthen piers in both the pond and the big lake can be productive. |
