Best Species to Target This Week

Largemouth Bass

Fish for largemouth bass this week in 5-10 feet of water over a rocky bottom using a crankbait. A slow retrieve with a stop-and-go action should encourage a strike at mid-depth.

Bluegill

Target bluegill this week in 2-5 feet of water over a sandy bottom using live worms. A slow jigging technique with a gentle lift and drop action is effective in the shallows.

Channel Catfish

Fish for channel catfish this week in 10-15 feet of water over a muddy bottom using cut bait. A steady retrieve with a slow roll action will attract bites from the depths.

Best Times to Be on the Water This Week

Largemouth Bass

Due to improving weather and warming water, largemouth bass will be actively feeding during the late afternoon. Specific fishing time is 4 PM to 6 PM.

Bluegill

With stable conditions, bluegill will be feeding in the early morning. Optimal fishing time is 6 AM to 8 AM.

Channel Catfish

Channel catfish will be more active during the evening hours. Best fishing time is between 6 PM and 8 PM.
