Striper: Fish
starting to get active in major creeks like Grassy, Rudds and
Eastland. Most fish are being found shallow on points using crankbaits.
Average fish are weighing 4 to 8 lbs.
Crappie: Crappie fishing has picked up. There are
alot of reports of good catches. Most fish are being caught using
the trolling method. Fish are located in the flats of major creeks
toward the rivers. Fish change depths and color choices daily. Water
temps are 40 - 45 degrees. Water clarity is stained to muddy.
Bass: High water, cold and muddy makes for some
of the worse conditions for bass fishing. A few fish are being caught
mostly on places you can get to the bank with red clay or rock. Fishermen
mostly are using crankbaits, jerkbaits and rat-l-traps. With warm
weather in the forecast and a little less water in the lake, things
will pick up fast.
Catfish: Blues are mostly the only thing being caught
and not really a lot of them, but some of the ones being caught are
nice size fish. The fish that are being caught are in deep holes
and channel edges around the Bluestone to Buffalo area's of the main
lake. The primary baits being used are cut crappie and cut shad.
The water temps are rising and the fishing should pick up the pace
as the fish feed for their run up the river.
