Report by: Clint's Bait and Tackle  

Sure hope the report I put up last week did you some good. People are telling us that the fishing is still but the evenings and mornings are the best. So we will let you know what we have been told.

CRAPPIE---They are just about everywhere but you have to work for them. there are places they are somewhat deep but you can find they. Minnows are the best for these fellows.

WALLEYE-- They have mainly been caught of an evening and early morning. Drifting worked pretty good to catch this fish. Crawlers and small perch are a good bait to use.

BASS---These rascals have been real active about anywhere from all we have been told. Crawlers, Minnows, and jigs have all worked good.

CATFISH-Just about any water is producing channels and even some fair flat heads have been caught. Crawlers, Livers, Minnows, and shad guts & sides are all working well for the cats.

We are open 7 days a week and carry a good line of bait & tackle for all your needs. If we aren't in the shop when you needs us, just walk across the street and get us.
