JT’s
Crappie Guide Service (479-640-3980) said bass have been hitting
medium-diving crankbaits in crawdad or shad colors fished along gently
sloping chunk rock banks. Hula grubs fished around the flooded cover
is another good option. Crappie have been biting minnows fished above
brush piles 25 to 40 feet deep along creek channels. White bass have
been schooled up over main lake flats and points. Small jigging spoons
have worked best. Catfishing continues to be very good from the bank
using liver or worms in Hickory Creek, Prairie Creek and the 12 bridge.
Southtown Sporting
Goods (479-443-7148) said
the water is at normal level and stained. Crappie are biting well on
minnows and deep brush piles. Bass are biting well on spinnerbaits
and spooks fished around cedar laydowns. Catfishing is good on chicken
liver.
