Fishing Report
| Bass | The bass bite has slowed down lately. Texas/Carolina-rigged soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and weedless swimbaits are all good lures, as are topwater lures fished early in the morning, late in the evening, or on overcast days. |
| Crappie | For crappie, the bite has been slow. Anglers are finding fish with electronics, but getting them to bite has proven difficult. Anglers can target deeper points with cover or in the coves. Both minnows and jigs are good to get you a few bites. |
| Bream | The bream bite is fair. Target shallow cover, especially around wooden piers. Tight lining red worms or crickets is a productive technique. The creek channel in the upper part of the lake is also a good place to look for fish, particularly around the old bridge crossing. |
| Catfish | No current reports on catfish. Try tight lining with liver, cut bait, stink bait, and/or night crawlers. Look for the deeper laydowns, off shore brush tops, the creek channel, and the fishing piers to hold a few fish. |
