Fishing Report

Aliceville Lake - 9/17/2019 9:39:16 AM

 

BASS

 

The bite was slow to fair.  A few fish have been caught on frogs around vegetation.  The best option right now is to find some wood cover near deeper water and fish slow with a Texas rig or jig.  Dark colors tend to be the best option.  

 

CRAPPIE

 

The crappie bite remains poor.  Not many crappie anglers have been fishing in the heat.  Try fishing deep banks with a lot of shade and wood to catch a few crappie in the Camp Pratt area.

 

CATFISH

 

The catfish bite was fair. Jug fishing has been popular lately. Using cut/whole shad and kool-aid flavored chicken is a good bait choice. Look for areas just off the navigation channel out of the current to hold fish.

 

Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Fisheries Biologists use various sampling methods to assess the fish populations in the State’s waters.   Sampling results for selected water bodies are summarized in Reel Facts Sheets.
