Fishing Report
Lake Lincoln State Park - 11/27/2023 10:42:16 AM| Species | Detail | |
| Bass | Bass bite is ok and can be caught suspended. Bass continue to bite with a slow retrieve on highly active spinner baits and soft plastics. Choose a crankbait or spinnerbait in chartreuse or red with a large blade to catch their eye, focus fishing effort near deep woody structure. | |
| Crappie | Crappie fishing is slow. Focus fishing effort near the dam with small white crank baits or live minnows. Jigging works wonderfully near deep structure, don’t be shy to use a spray-on fish attractant for artificial lures, a large part of the crappie’s predation instinct is scent driven. | |
| Bream | Bream fishing is good. Focus fishing effort near vegetation or shallow structure with small white beetle spins or fish on bottom with redworms or night crawlers. A slow retrieve is best. | |
| Catfish | Catfish are biting ok. Focus fishing effort on bottom in the coves with stink baits or livers soaked in koolaid. | |
