Best Species to Target: Summer’s Finest Awaits!

Largemouth Bass

Fish for Largemouth Bass this week in 5-10 feet of water over a rocky bottom using a plastic worm. A slow retrieve with a subtle twitch action should encourage a strike at 5-10 feet.

Bluegill

Target Bluegill in 3-6 feet of water over a sandy bottom using a small jig. A slow and steady retrieve with a lift-and-drop action will entice them at this depth.

Channel Catfish

Go for Channel Catfish in 10-15 feet of water over a muddy bottom using cut bait. A steady retrieve with a slow drag action will produce bites at this depth.

Best Times to Fish: Timing is Everything!

Largemouth Bass

Due to warmer temperatures and increasing cloud cover, Largemouth Bass will be actively feeding in the early morning hours. 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM will be the optimal time to target this species.

Bluegill

Thanks to consistent weather and warm water, Bluegill will be feeding in the late afternoon. 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM is the best time to catch them.

Channel Catfish

With evening storms likely, Channel Catfish will be most active after dark. 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM will be prime time for these catches.
