Species | Detail |
---|---|
Bass | Try targeting bass in shallow water early in the morning near cover and structure. Top-water lures and bluegill presentations could be very productive this time of the day. As water temps increase look for fish to be associated with cover in more moderate depths. Spinner-baits, Texas rigged soft plastics, and jigs could be good choices to search for fish. |
Crappie | Target fish suspended near deep cover and structure. Minnows and jigs are both good choices for baits. |
Bream | Target cover and structure throughout the lake in medium to shallow depths. Both crickets and redworms could be good choices for bait. |
Catfish | Try fishing near cover and structure in medium depth areas around the lake with liver, nightcrawlers, or cut bait. |
Species | Lengths to Release | Daily Creel Limits |
---|---|---|
Black Bass (combined largemouth, spotted and smallmouth) | No Length Limit | 5 per angler |
Crappie (combined black and white) | 10 inches and under | 30 per angler |
Statewide creel and size limits apply to all other fish species
