Fishing Report - 5/30/2024
| Species | Detail |
|---|---|
| Bass | A variety of lures are working right now. Some anglers are reporting a decent buzzbait bite in some of the backwater areas where grass and bushes are flooded. Others are throwing weightless and Texas-rigged soft plastics for those more lethargic fish. Some anglers have resorted to using shakeyheads and Ned rigs to catch some of these fish as well. Spawning shad can offer bass anglers some fast action for the first hour or two of the day on topwater lures like buzzbaits and walking baits. |
| Crappie | The crappie bite has slowed significantly. A few quality fish are still being caught, but not at the frequency of weeks past. Mill Creek, Goat Island and Yellow Creek continue to be hot spots as anglers are drifting/trolling jigs and casting jigs/roadrunners for suspended fish they found using their electronics. Anglers are targeting 10 – 15 ft of water. Both minnows and jigs are catching fish. |
| Catfish | The catfish bite is starting to pick up. Anglers should be starting to fish along the rock walls soon, if they're not already. Redworms and nightcrawlers are the bait of choice right now. |
