In the spring our famous Crappie run starts, the crappie come into
shallow water to spawn. Fishermen will enjoy catching SLAB CRAPPIE in 3
to 10 feet of water, close to brush piles, stumps, and tree tops,
fishing with minnows. The largest crappie caught here weighed 4 pounds
and 2 ounces.
These months are superb for Large-mouth Bass fishing. The bass are in
coves and around bushes and are caught by the fly-rod fisherman and bait
casters using large bass bugs, surface lures, and spinner baits.
The Stripes (White Bass) begin to school and are caught by trolling and
casting spoons and spinners. Our famed night fishing is at its peak.
Large strings of White Bass and Crappie are caught by using lanterns and
fishing with minnows for bait. King Size Catfish are also caught as they
school up and feed on the shad minnows that are attracted by the
lanterns. Large mouth Bass move out into deeper water along the main
shoreline, surface and underwater lures are used to snag these.
The Crappie and Bass fishing reach their peak once again. The Crappie
move back into shallow water and may be taken with minnows. The Bass are
feeding on the shad minnows and surface and underwater lures are used by
fishing the points, gravel bars, and stump beds.
Most fishermen have a tendency to hang up their poles and forget fishing
till spring. Even in these cold months we will still have a lot of good
fishing and pretty days left. Crappie hit all year long and they are in
deeper water just as in summer months.
