Fishing Report
Late Fall/Winter fishing report:
An often over-looked State fishing lake during the winter months. Main lake points and ditches, or creek channels will hold good numbers of quality bass and crappie. Jig-n-pig combos, 3/4 to 1 oz. spinnerbaits, Alabama-rigs, jigging spoons, and small hair jigs will catch both bass and crappie. For bream try tight-lined redworms for best results.
BASS
Having only bank access, very few anglers are visiting the lake. Try making long casts, with shakeyheads, Texas/Carolina-rigged plastics, jigs, and spinnerbaits. Any visible cover should hold a fish or two.
BREAM
The bream bite will be slow during the cold season, but some quality redear can be caught. Try tight lining worms along the bottom along primary drop-offs and close to the creek channel.
CRAPPIE
Main points and the creek channel are typically the areas to target for crappie during the cold season. Hair jigs, minnows, and vertically jigged blade baits are good choices to try in those areas.
CATFISH
Like bream, the catfish bite will be slow during the cold season. Making long casts out from points with tight lined worms and/or liver will be the best technique to use.
Weekly fishing reports will pick back up in February. | |
