Everyone has had a really tough time caching much of anything. Grubs worked for bass for the fellow that did catch one. Crappie are still being caught a little bit but they are much smaller than before. Catfish take a long time to get but are still being found in various places throughout the lake. Even live worms aren’t helping anyone as of now. The fish are in a trance like state from what I hear, people can see the fish and brush a lure rich in front of their mouth without any reaction. Yellow crappie jigs we’re the key for the small few that were caught.

The few that took the bait were under 3 pounds. Bass are doing their own thing going for a plethora of swim...... Read More
