Howdy everybody! hope all is well with all of you. it's come time for us to let you in on all the fishing news we know. so here goes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Crappie--at the city lake and the res they picking up some good ones about 6 to 8 foot deep. The people at the city lake say they are get-
ting them around their docks. most have said they are doing better with minnows but some will hit on the usual jigs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Walleye--they have been picking walleye up at the res and the city lake off the dams. there are still some being caught in the outlet
but not like they was. minnows and crawlers have been working well to get this fish along with jigs of dark colors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Bass----have had good reports on the bass. they have been caught in all the waters around here. minnows, crawlers, and several lures are
taking some nice fish.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Catfish--they channel cats have been hitting just about anywhere you want to fish. we have seen some real good sized channels. haven't
heard anything on flatheads but it is a little early for them. the channels have been hitting shad guts and sides, crawlers, minnows,
and even jigs while fishing for walleye.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We are here 7 days a week for all your fishing needs. if we aren't you all know you can walk across the street and get us.
