Tons of small 1-3 pound bass were caught this week. Some on top water and others on flicker shad dive baits. We haven’t hear of a trout catch in quite a while. Night cat fishing is starting to pick up try using a bundle of nightcrawlers. Crappie are hitting on small plastic jigs with weighted heads down 15 feet or so. Have to be up early before 9 AM or late evening to get into a school of them. Bluegill are hitting on any ilive worm using a float to drop shot rig.

I am assuming the water has gotten warmer...... Read More
