Fishing Report

Aliceville Lake - 5/24/2023 3:31:40 PM
Species Detail
Bass Some nice catches have been reported out of Aliceville recently. Bass are coming out of shallow vegetation and stumps near spawning areas. Texas-rigged plastics and jigs have been working during the day. A spinnerbait or weedless swimbait may get a bite from those fish guarding fry or around bream beds. Don’t overlook a topwater bite (frog or buzzbait) early and late. Popular areas have been the backs of the sloughs in the Coalfire area as well as Camp Pratt.
Crappie The crappie bite has slowed down. A few anglers are using crappie jigs and minnows around cover where shade is available. Best water depths are 4 to 8 feet.
Catfish The catfish anglers reported some success targeting slack water along the navigation channel. Cut shad has produced the best results. Most anglers are opting to use set lines or rod-n-reels.
