Fishing Report from Josh Jackson 04.17.24
Crappie - Fish are starting to hit the banks! Fish a 1/16 oz jig under a cork one foot deep. Early in the morning and late evening have been best for me. I've also been fishing in 10 to 20 feet of water fishing 8 to 10 feet deep using jigs and minnows.
Bass - Fish creeks and pockets using spinner baits, jigs and squarebills. The Bass bite has been pretty good the last couple of weeks.
White Bass - Fish wind blown chunk rock banks and points using crankbaits.
Catfish - Fish flats in 6 to 15 feet of water using cut shad.

https://sirukasino.com happened to be open while I was reading the crappie section, and the 1/16 oz jig under a cork at one foot deep matches what I've seen this time of year when fish first push shallow. I've always had better luck with minnows than jigs in that 8 to 10 foot range once the bank bite slows, though. Curious whether the white bass are still hanging on those wind blown points or if that's already tapering off.
