Fishing Report - Updated 5/6/24

BassFishing has been good. Focus fishing effort with soft plastics in a green/black/red coloration. Try out worms or flukes. Topwater may also work well in the mornings.
Crappie Fishing has been slow. Focus fishing effort with soft plastics in a green/black/red coloration. Minnows and spinner baits also work well. A spray-on fish attractant is also helpful because a large part of the crappie’s predatory instinct is scent driven.
BreamFishing has been good. Focus fishing effort near vegetation with small beetle spin or fish using redworms, nightcrawlers, and crickets. They have just started bedding.
Catfish Fishing has been fair. Focus fishing effort on the bottom with red worms, liver, and other stink baits.
