Largemouth bass are cruising the shallows. The fish are in 2-4 ft of water. I like fishing the outlet area of the channels.

Largemouth bass are on the deep weed line.  They can be caught casting deep diving crank baits or by fishing night crawlers.  I caught several bass last week over 18 inches and one close to 6 lbs.  The best location is by the gray condos or by the Village Supper Club.

Crappie fishing has been good in the mid-range weeds.  You want to fish them in 6-10 ft of water.  The best location is by Browns Channel.  You want to look for scattered weeds.  With the water clarity, you need to make long casts so you don’t spook the fish.  Small fathead minnows on bobbers have […]
