This Week's Fishing Report
FAIR. Water clear; 53 degrees; 4.68 feet below pool. The fishing patterns are consistent. The hybrid bite may improve deadsticking baits, if the water temperature drops. Many fish are almost in prespawn mode skipping over the true winter patterns. White bass and hybrids are fair on main lake humps and points, deadsticking slabs or trolling with deep crankbaits. Crappie are good on docks in 10-15 feet, 20-30 feet on offshore brush piles, with roamers suspended top third of the water column in 30-40 feet. Minnow bite is good and jig bite is decent. Largemouth bass are fair using medium crankbaits, Alabama rigs, and swimbaits for deeper schooling fish. Morning bite is along the bank in the morning with crankbaits and chatterbaits on main lake rock and docks. Catfish are good on cut bait and chicken liver on main lake humps, deeper holes in coves, and in the river in creek channels drifting. Report by Jack Pellegrini, Lake Bridgeport Crappie Guide Service.
