Crappie fishing is good several fish coming in and some
big ones. The crappie are in the mouth of the creeks in
1ft of water and more fishing 9 ft deep. You can catch
them on live bait or jigs in the Blk/Char in color. Look
for the brushy trees and fish in the middle of them. We
are also catching them spider rigging lots of fun.
Bass fishing is good with some heavy weights coming in.
The bass are in the warmest water they can find look for
shallow pockets with no wind the calmer the better. Fish a
spinner bait or a jig and frog. Most bass are in 2ft to 5
ft of water.
Catfish are being caught on the flats in 20ft of water
fishing 10 ft deep.Cut bait is the bait of choice. Several

Crappie fishing is good we have
seen several nice fish come in. I fished several days this
week and caught limits every time. The key to catching them
was 10ft to 15ft of water and fishing 9 to 12 ft deep .Fish
the mouth of the creeks to about 1/2 way back. The bait of
choice was blk/char in the 1/8th oz head. Keep on the move and
try several creeks some are holding more than others.
Bass No Report
Catfish are being caught in the
main river channel. Fish in 20 ft of water and more fishing 15
ft deep. Fresh cut shad is the bait of choice . Juglines are
the best.
