The bass bite is fair to good and continues to improve with the cooling water temps. A few anglers are fishing the creeks (Lux and Columbus river run) and the riprap ...more right below Columbus Dam and reporting some nice catches. These anglers have been throwing spinnerbaits and t-rigged plastics. Other areas with reports are Camp Pratt, Kincaid Creek, and Big Coalfire. Best baits have been t-rigged plastics, shallow crankbaits, and spinnerbaits. Finding the shad is key. The crappie reports are fair with most anglers working the timber and brush in backwater areas. Both jigs and minnows are catching a few fish as one may out produce the other on any given day. Catfish reports are the same for Aberdeen and Columbus. Most folks are hitting the channel and the mouths of the old river runs with jugs and rod-n-reels with some success with whole/cutbait.
