The crappie anglers hitting the Pratt’s Camp area have been catching some nice crappie. Some crappie were caught in shallow water up against the banks, while other ...more anglers had success fishing deeper in 6 to 10 feet of water. With continuing warm weather, look for the bite to continue to be good. The bass spawn has started particularly on the lower end of the lake around the Coalfire and Rivermont areas. Texas-rig plastics like lizards and creature baits are popular lures for these fish. If you’re not targeting spawning fish, swimming a jig, spinnerbaits and swimbaits are could techniques to try. Don’t be afraid to throw a buzzbait early and late in the day as well. The white bass are making their run to spawn and a few anglers are taking advantage. The Lux is a popular area for these fish. Lures like rooster tails, crankbaits and chrome colored lipless crankbaits are good lures to use.
