Crappie fishing
is great! The fish are being caught in the creeks with spider rigging
minnows or Lindy tubes in the aurora black colors. The fish are being
caught in 15 ft. of water or less fishing 10 ft. deep. All the creeks
will work by rigging a minnow on top and the jig on the bottom and move
slow. We fished today and caught 20 plus keepers all in one creek in
only 3 hours. The bite is great so grab some minnows and come over and
see us.
Catfish are being caught on the main lake flats just off the channel
ledges. Fish in 15 ft. of water and fish 10 ft. deep using cut bait. If
you can get fresh bait the bite is the best. Jugs and trot lines are
working the best.

Crappie fishing has slowed down some. The
crappie that are being caught are in 20 feet of water fishing 15 to 18
feet deep. Fish the bluffs and the bluff ends using double rig jigs. Use
1/8 ounce jig on the bottom with a 1/16 ounce jig on the top. Black &
chartreuse and blue & white are the colors of choice. The water is cold so
move slowly. Slow trolling is working and dipping the trees on the bluffs
is also working well. Early morning and late evening is the best bite.
Catfish are being caught in the main lake channel in 30 feet of water
fishing 20 feet deep using jugs. Fresh cut bait is the bait of choice.
There have been several nice blue cats being caught. If you can't get
fresh bait, frozen shad or hotdogs will work.

Crappie fishing is fair. The fish are being
caught on the bluffs in 20 plus ft. of water fishing 15 ft. deep. We are
using double rig jigs blk/char in color. With this cold front the fish are
a little sluggish. So be patient and move slow. This weekend when the
water warms up the bite will be in the mouth of the creeks and pockets.
Fish in the middle of the trees and move slowly.
Catfish are being caught in the main lake channels fishing in 25 ft. of
water fishing 15 ft. deep. Fresh cut bait is the best but hot dogs and
store bought shrimp will work. Blue cats are what we are catching. This
time of year you can catch some good ones.

Crappie fishing has slowed down some. The fish
are on the bluffs in 20 ft. of water and more. So fish 15 ft. deep and
keep on the move but, don't be in a hurry the bite is slow. Use a double
jig rig in the blk/char color. The bite will improve when the water cools
some.Catfish are being caught in 20
ft. of water fishing 15 ft. deep using fresh bait. Several white cats
being caught. Fish in the main lake channels using jugs.

Crappie are
being caught on the bluffs in the lower lake area. With the water
being released at the damn it has made our water above the marina a
little stained. Fish from the marina to the damn area for the best
bite. Fish the bluffs and the mouth of the creeks in 20 plus ft. of
water fishing 15 ft. deep. I have been using two 1/16th oz. jigs with
a blk/char tube and is working well. Remember its cold so slow
down and be patient because the bite will come. Winter can be as good
as any other time of the year.
Catfish are
being caught in the main lake channels in 20 ft. of water or more
fishing 15 ft. deep. Jugs are the best approach. This time of year you
can catch some good ones. If you can get some fresh cut shad your
catch will be better.
If you are
looking for a crappie trip this winter call Richard or Jeff at
660-477-3900. They are always ready for a good guide trip. Have fun
and good luck.
Don't forget to
reserve your spot at the RV park. They are going fast. We also are
reserving the pavilion for catored parties such as family reunions,
class reunions, birthdays, receptions or any event you might have.
Have a great
NEW YEAR!
