Fish Report for 9-30-2022
Bass action has been solid for both numbers and quality
9-30-2022
Chad Burton and Chris Borden
Isabella is down to 7 percent capacity and the Bass action has been solid for both numbers and quality. This week our contacts reported excellent Bass action in the 1 to 2lbs range with an occasional 6 to 7lbs fish in the mix. Bass have been coming on Whopper Ploppers, Buzzbaits, Poppers, Crankbaits, Texas Rigs and Jigs. The bite has been better early in the morning and then fades some until late afternoon. Many areas have been producing fish in good numbers, but the top areas have been Rocky Point, the Flume, Engineer Point and both Dams. They are also finding fish around trees throughout the lake. Crappie anglers continue to do well near the Dam in 10 to 20-feet of water. Slabs have been coming on Get Bent Baits and live shiners with finesse tactics. Trout are in deeper water and shore anglers are having a tougher time getting a bite. Floating garlic scented baits in deeper water is your best bet for shore anglers. Boaters can troll leadcore near the Dam with Needlefish, Tasmanian Devils or Flicker Shad. Catfish in good numbers have been showing with frozen shad, Triple S Dip Bait, live shiners and nightcrawlers.
