Fishing Report
Tombigbee State Park - 9/20/2023 2:07:22 PM| Species | Detail | |
| Largemouth Bass | Anglers are targeting the water willow along the banks early and late in the day with various weed less presentations. Buzzbaits, frogs, weightless senkos, and lightly weighted Texas-rigs are popular choices. If overcast or rainy conditions are present, look for the water willow bite to extend toward the midday hours. When the sun gets higher in the sky, anglers are throwing Texas-rigged plastics, shakeyheads, and crankbaits around points and drop-offs in 10 – 20 ft. of water. | |
| Crappie | Anglers are using both jigs and minnows to target crappie around any cover in 15 – 25 ft. of water. Either bait option may out produce the other on any given day, depending on conditions. | |
| Bream | The bream bite is fair. Most anglers are fishing from the bank and the piers. Most anglers are tight lining crickets and red worms, but a cork presentation may work as well. Look for any cover close to traditional bedding areas to hold fish as well. | |
| Catfish | Catfish anglers are targeting drop-offs and deeper shoreline cover like laydowns with tight lined liver and night crawlers. The best catfish action seems to happen in the evening hours just before sunset. | |
