Report by: Clint's Bait and Tackle  

Hello to all the fisher people out there. Yes it has been a while since we put up a report but as we all know fishing was very slow for a while. But it Has picked up again and we are here to tell you all we know.

Crappie--they have really started to do good the last few days. They are Hitting on minnows at the city lake and the res. We have seen some real nice Ones and they are very aggressive at times.

Bass-----the white bass have been moving rather good lately. Most have been caught using minnows while fishing for crappie.

Walleye--they too have been moving as of late. The minnow and crawler have got a bunch in the boats and in the baskets. So far we have seen 4 to 7 Pounders every few days.

Catfish--the channels have been feeding good and giving some pretty good catches. crawlers and sides are working good for these fish. We have seen many 20 to 30 pound flatheads in the last week or so.
