GREAT. Water stained; 72.3 degrees; 0.98 feet above pool. Catfish are biting well as they transition toward their winter spots, with plenty of good-sized eaters being caught. Baited holes in 12-30 feet of water are producing on Catfish Bubblegum, liver, worms, and punch bait, while wind-blown points and flats are yielding fish for anglers drifting natural baits. Largemouth bass are active up shallow, hitting rattle traps and creature baits. Report by Brad Doyle with Bradley’s Guide Service. Crappie numbers are improving, with fish holding on various structures in 12-21 feet and biting on minnows, hair jigs, and plastics – hair jigs and minnows have been especially productive. Hybrid stripers are scattered and schooling in smaller groups, found on flats and drop-off edges in 12-22 feet, and biting on slabs, spoons, and shad. Always wear your life jacket.
