Fishing Report
Bass
| The fishing report remains about the same for Lamar Bruce. Anglers using live bait have had the best luck with bigger bass in the 5-7 pound range. Those using artificial lures are relying heavily on forward-facing sonar to find the fish and are throwing anything that imitates a shad. Spoons, Alabama rigs, and soft plastic minnow/shad imitators have been catching decent fish. The shad schools are still out in deeper water, so find the shad and you'll find the bass. For those anglers without FFS, covering a lot of water is going to be key. Look for bass to start feeding up before winter as the water temps continue to cool. |
| Bream | The bream bite is fair, and some decent fish have been caught recently. Try tightlining with redworms in 5-8' of water. |
| Catfish | No current reports on catfish, but around this time last year, several anglers caught new lake record fish. Try tightlining worms and liver around the deeper points and piers. |
| Crappie | The crappie bite has been slow, but some bass anglers have caught crappie on minnow-imitating lures in the main lake. Fishing around structure with minnows and jigs is always a good bet as well. See the coordinates below for the location of fish attractors. |
Reminder: All Walleye caught must be released immediately. Please follow regulations on wake speed and boat lighting.
