Fishing Report
Percy Quin State Park - 4/23/2024 10:33:04 AM| Species | Detail | |
| Bass | Fishing has been good. Focus fishing effort with soft plastics in a green/black/red coloration. Try out worms or flukes. Topwater may also work well in the mornings. | |
| Crappie | Fishing has been slow. 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. | |
| Bream | Fishing has been good. Focus fishing effort near vegetation with small beetle spin or fish using redworms, nightcrawlers, and crickets. They have just started bedding. | |
| Catfish | Fishing has been fair. Focus fishing effort on the bottom with red worms, liver, and other stink baits. | |
