Webster Reservoir Fishing Report -
Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
---|---|---|---|
Crappie | Fair | 7 to 17 inches | Would recommend fishing around the north and south shore breakwaters and fish attractors using jigs, slab spoons and jigs with minnows. Would also try fishing up in the shallows of coves as these fish will be coming into spawn in the next few weeks. |
Walleye | Fair | 14 to 28 inches | Would recommend fishing for them just outside the maintained fish attractors using jigs and slab spoons. Would also be getting the night crawlers out and start fishing the drop-offs and flats. Trolling diving lures along the dam could also be productive. |
White Bass/Wiper | Fair | 8 to 28 inches | Both species are being caught around the north and south shore fish attractors and breakwaters using jigs and jigs tipped with minnow. Trolling diving lures could also be productive. |
Catfish | Fair | 12 to 30 inches | Catfish are being caught up in the shallows of Old Marina and Rock Point Coves using shad, shrimp, gizzards, or stink baits on the bottom. |
Largemouth Bass | Fair | 12 to 22 inches | Fish are being caught around the maintained fish attractors and up in the coves using plastics and spinner baits. |
