Bass
| For bass, the transition to spawning time has started to occur and fish are on the move. Anglers are using a variety of techniques to catch their fish. Lures like lipless crankbaits, single swimbaits, and Alabama-rigs have been good options to cover water in search of pre spawn bass around transitional areas like points and gravel bars. As the bite moves shallower for the spawn, look for the Texas/Carolina-rigged lizards and jig bite to pick up. Spinnerbaits and jerkbaits are also good options for those pre spawn fish. |
| Catfish | Catfish bites are traditionally slow around this time. Rod and reel using cut/whole shad and kool-aid flavored chicken has been a popular option. Target gravel bars and shallow ledges out of the current for a decent bite. |
| Crappie | The crappie bite has started to pick up as well. Crappie should be moving to shallower water with the warmer weather. Trolling jigs are a good choice around this time. Mill Creek has been hot lately, but don't overlook Bear, Yellow, and Indian Creeks. |
