Fishing Report
Lake Mike Conner - 11/29/2022 2:59:59 PM| Species | Detail | |
| Bass | Through the winter bass tend to bite best with a slow retrieve on a highly attractive crank bait. Choose a lure in bright colors that makes a bit of noise when being reeled in and focus fishing effort near structure placed along the piers. | |
| Crappie | Winter is prime time for fishing for Crappie, they thrive in the chilly waters. Focus fishing effort near elevation changes in deep channels around the lake 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 in the winter can be challenging. 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 usually bite well through the winter. Focus fishing effort on bottom in the coves with stink baits or livers soaked in koolaid. | |

New fish attractors were added at this lake to improve fish habitat. The brushpiles were added in various depths, but most are located in 3 - 6 ft. of water. Five brushpiles were sunk on the levee in 15 - 20 ft. Below are GPS coordinates for some of the sites. Be sure your GPS is reading decimal degrees (shown below) and not degrees-minutes-seconds when locating these attractors.
