The Catfish bite remains excellent
2-25-2022
Chad Burton and Chris Borden
The lake is rising slowly and is currently at 11 percent capacity. The Catfish bite remains excellent in 60 to 80-feet of water with vibrating jigs. Sonar shad schools and around that depth and the catfish will most likely be there filling their bellies. Catfishing from shore has been slow to fair with cut baits, dip baits, and night crawlers. The trout plant a week ago has improved the action here. Anglers have had decent action on spinners, garlic scented Powerbait, and minijigs. Boaters can troll needlefish, Tasmanian Devils and Flicker-shad around the dam for better model fish. The Crappie action has been hit or miss. They’ve been suspended around 20 to 30-feet of water and hanging near offshore structure. The usual baits like live shiners and minijigs have been working when anglers have triggered them to bite. The bass action is fair and remain out in deeper water. The best action has been with Heddon Sonars, spoons, and ice jigs.
