Fishing Report
Species | Detail |
---|---|
Bass | The summertime heat is here, and the bass fishing is fair to good. Most bass are being caught in 8-10' of water. Slowly fishing soft plastic worms is working very well right now. Topwater lures have been somewhat productive as well. For deeper areas, try deep-diving crankbaits, swimbaits, or big Texas-rigged worms. Good electronics are a must for the off-shore bite. |
Crappie | The crappie action continues to be good. Some anglers are drifting/trolling small crankbaits for suspended fish they found using their electronics. Other anglers are targeting offshore brushtops by vertically jigging or using minnows. |
Catfish | The catfish bite is fair. Tight lining with cut/whole shad or liver along the deeper gravel bars and shallower river ledges can typically produce bites. A reminder that Pickwick is a shared waterbody with Alabama, so only 1 catfish over 34 inches is allowed. |
