Species
Species
| Species | Detail |
|---|---|
| Largemouth Bass | Bass fishing is fair to good. Mostly mals are being caught on sendkos, spinnerbaits, and flukes. Texas-rigged lizards and creature baits are working on the fish on beds. |
| Crappie | Similar to the bass, the crappie are beginning to spawn, but some are still staging out in deeper water. Any cover in 4-8' of water should be holding fish. Jigs are the go-to baits right now. |
| Bream | The bream bite is slowly improving, but hasn't really picked up yet. Tight lining earthworms, mealworms, or red worms from the earthen piers may produce some shell crackers. |
| Catfish | No reports on catfish; anglers typically don't start fishing for them until later in the spring. Tight lining liver and/or worms off the wooden and earthen piers in both the pond and the big lake can be productive. |
