Fishing Report (Updated 5.14.2008)

Striped Bass: Fair.  Some striped bass are being caught up the river but fishing in the main lake is slow.  No schooling activity is being reported.

Largemouth Bass: Very good.  Some bass are still on the beds and being caught by anglers sight fishing with jigs or worms.  Most bass have already bedded and moved back onto secondary points.  Topwater lures including buzzbaits and floating worms are both productive, and swim baits and Texas Rigged worms are also catching fish.

Crappie: Good.  Crappie have generally finished spawning and moved back out to 6-12 feet of water.  A few can still be caught shallow but best action is on deeper brushpiles or trolling with minnows and chartreuse and black jigs.

Bream and Shellcracker: Good.  Fish are moving onto the banks and trying to bed.  Fish 2-5 feet of water using crickets and red worms.

Catfish: Very good.  Fish on the bottom using cut bait or worms, and try fishing at night.
