Anglers reported fair fishing last week with bass and crappie as the best bets

2-11-2022
Chad Burton and Chris Borden

Anglers reported fair fishing last week with bass and crappie as the best bets. Anglers used finesse baits, crank baits, and live minnows to fool bass. The bite has been on the slow side, but stealthy kayak anglers reported doing well near the cattails and reeds. Crappie anglers filled stringers while using Get Bent Baits Minijigs and small live minnows. Crappie took the bait on the bottom or floated under a bobber. Catfish ate fresh shrimp, cut baits, and dip bait, and we’re still waiting on news about the next trout plant.
