Quitman Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Largemouth bass is a popular fish in this lake. The quality of the crappie fishery is sporadic. Bluegill and redear sunfish provide an additional fishery. Channel catfish have been stocked and have increased in abundance in recent years.

Cover & Structure

Flooded timber, boat houses and brush piles provide limited cover. Aquatic vegetation is sparse. Alligatorweed and water hyacinth are present and are problematic in some areas.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishermen are most successful on this reservoir during the spring, fall, and winter months. Topwater baits are popular in the early morning and evening hours. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits fished along main-lake points and in flooded timber are also productive. Popular soft plastic baits include worms, tubes, grubs, and soft-jerkbaits. Crappie fishermen often concentrate on standing timber, brush piles, and flooded roadbeds.
