Fishing Report - Last Update: 5/9/2013

Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method, & Location
Bluegill / redear	Good	All sizes	Try worms or small jigs fished slowly along weedlines and structure. Some bluegill and redear have moved in shallow.
Channel catfish	Fair/Good	All sizes	Try liver, prepared baits, minnows, worms, shad sides, or shrimp fished near the bottom.
Crappie	Fair/Good	7 -12 inches	Try minnows or small 1/64 oz. jigs fished around structure and brush. Some crappie have moved into shallower water to spawn. Fishing a jig a few feet below a bobber can sometimes be effective at this time. Many 7 to 10-inch fish are available, with some quality fish mixed in.
Largemouth bass	Fair/Good	All sizes	Try jigs, plastic baits, spinner baits, or crank baits fished around brush, structure, or along weedlines.
