Report by: Clint's Bait and Tackle  

Hello out there to everyone. Well we are into another week and it is some different than last week, but that is life. We are here again to let you know about the fishing.

CRAPPIE-They are hanging in the brush according to all we are told by the fisher people. But that is the norm for them this time of year and they hang tight to any structure. Minnows are still working best at getting this fish out and into your basket.

WALLEYE-There haven't been a great lot of them caught in the last week but some have been caught. The ones that have caught them won't say where they were but did say what they were caught on. Some lures, but mainly minnows and crawlers.

BASS---This fish just doesn't give up. From all we have been told this fish is still doing great. Minnows, crawlers, and some lures are still all working great at landing this fighter.

CATFISH-The channel cat has been and still is doing great in all the waters around here according to all we hear from. Livers, crawlers, minnows, shad guts and sides, plus crawdads have all been working well on this fish.

Flatheads still haven't been doing much yet. A few small ones have been caught but that has been about it.

We are open 7 days a week and still have a good line of bait & tackle for your fishing needs. We are open all year around even for the winter fisher person. We have lic. For the state and have the permits for your boat if you want to put it on the city lake. If you need us and we aren't in the shop, all you have to do is walk across the street and get us.
