GREAT. Water stained; 57 degrees; 0.13 feet below pool. Catfish bite is good on baited areas from 10-50 feet deep on liver, worms, Catfish Bubblegum, and punch bait. Drifting creek channels and flats with natural baits have been producing as well. Numbers of buck bass are shallow, and even some of the big gals on beds or staging on structure near beds. Crappie seem to be pretty good on the north end but with the temperature changes fish will be moving around a lot. Report by Bradley Doyle, Bradley’s Guide Service. Crappie are being caught in 13-22 feet on or near standing timber and other structures. Minnows and hair jigs have been producing better than plastics. Many of the hits are light. Hybrids are still being caught but are scattered due to the inconsistent weather. Deadsticking will be a good tactic this week as the arctic blast drops daily temperatures in the 30s. Target fish in 16-36 feet of water on flats and drop-offs. Always wear your life jacket! Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy.
