Species

Rating

Size

Baits, Method, & Location

Bluegill / redear

Good

All sizes

Try worms or small jigs fished slowly along weedlines and structure. Some bluegill and redear are still in shallow to spawn.

Channel catfish

Good

All sizes

Try liver, prepared baits, minnows, worms, shad sides, or shrimp fished near the bottom. The three feeders are in operation and better than average success can be expected fishing in the vacinity of one of the feeders.

Crappie

Fair

7 -12 inches

Try minnows or small 1/64 oz. jigs fished around structure and brush. Many 7 to 10-inch fish are available, with some quality fish mixed in.

Largemouth bass

Fair/Good

All sizes

Try jigs, plastic baits, spinner baits, or crank baits fished around brush, structure, or along weedlines.
