Moro
Bay: Moro
Bay State Park said the water has been fluctuating
slightly the last few weeks from 65 feet to 66 feet, which
is a foot above normal. There has been very little rain,
so the fluctuation must be from water being allowed through
the locks. Bream are still biting some, but you have to
find the right spots near structure in the bay or in the
lake. A cricket or a worm will suffice. Catfish are being
caught on noodles toward Thatcher but only at night. Baiting
a trotline this time of year is tough because the Gar will
take your bait quickly during the day. Very little is being
said about bass or crappie. They may be biting, but few
people are willing to suffer the heat.
Tri-County
Lake: Bass are
biting well early in the morning on shallow-running crankbaits.
During the middle of the day, they start hitting worms around
the rock points and inlets and under docks.
Ouachita
River Oxbows: Bream
are biting well on crickets and worms at 3 feet deep. Bass
are hitting topwaters early but are moving deeper around
midmorning. The best bet is to catch them on worms fished
near cypress trees or on lighter colored crankbaits. Spinnerbaits
fished through grass are also working fairly well in the
mornings.
