Fishing Report 

SpeciesDetail
BassNo reports on any species this week.  The bass bite has been slow with few anglers available for fishing reports.  Try Texas/Carolina-rigged worms, crankbaits, and jigs around deep structure and along the creek channel.  Any woody debris should hold a few fish. 
BreamThe bream bite has been slow.  Fishing around structure with redworms or meal worms has been fairly productive.
CatfishNo reports on catfish.  Earthworms and chicken liver have been the best baits to use.  
CrappieThe crappie bite has continued to be slow.  Anglers have had the most success using jigs and minnows around brush tops and submerged structure.
