Bass
Bass are currently being caught on spinner baits around vegetation. Also try fishing crankbaits and topwater lures.
Bream
Above: The new lake record Bluegill, 1.2 pounds. Caught by Terry Mathis of Mt. Olive.
Bream anglers are still having some luck, with fish being caught all around the lake. Jeff Davis has some healthy Bluegill and Redear Sunfish. Earthworms and crickets fished on the bottom should produce some fish.
Crappie
Currently there are no reports on crappie. Try fishing jigs tipped with small minnows in 10 to 15 feet of water.
Catfish
Catfish are biting and are being caught all around the lake. Liver, nightcrawlers, or commercial stinkbaits work well fished on the bottom.
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.
