Report by: Clint's Bait and Tackle
Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't put up a report for a couple weeks but
the fishing hasn't been good because of the water being let out of the res
and all the catfish and such getting ready to spawn. But in the last few
days we have had good reports of the fishing starting to pick up again. So
here we are and we will try to let you know all we have been told about what
is going on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crappie--they are picking up some good crappie at the city lake and at
the res. You have to work for them some but they are there to be caught. In
fact we have seen a few 14 to 16 inch fish and they sure look good. Most
have been caught using minnows around brush and the rocks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Walleye--most of the walleye that are being caught now are by people
drifting the flats. But at the city lake some have been caught around the
tower. Minnows and crawlers have been the best to lure this fish to your
hook.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bass----from all the reports we have got, the bass are doing pretty good
at the lakes. We have had several bass fisher-people in from many places and
they say they are doing good here. Crawlers and some lures are working great
to get these bad boys.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Catfish--the way it looks most of the catfish are about done with the
spawn now. They are starting to feed again and they are on the thin side as
you would imagine. The ones that have been caught show the signs of just
getting done. Same goes for the flat heads right now. The numbers being
caught are getting better everyday. So far crawlers livers, minnows, shad
guts & sides are working great for the channels. The flats are hitting
good on perch, koi, and goldfish.
