Report by: Clint's Bait and Tackle
Hello to all out in the FISHIN country. The weather has been good
and we hope they are wrong about it getting cooler for the weekend. We
are here to let you know all we have been told about what the fish are doing in our area.
So we will now tell you all we know.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
crappie--they have been catching some pretty nice fish in the last few
days around here. From all we have heard they are being caught about
2 to 6 foot deep and have been hitting best on minnows. Yes they are getting some on jigs
but as usual you will get more and larger ones on
minnows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
walleye--the walleye have been fair to good at both lakes. They are
hitting on minnows and many colors of jigs. Work the face of the dams
and in many of the coves. The early mornings and evenings are the best times to get this
fish. Also the good old crawler has brought this
fish to the stringer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
bass----they have been getting all types of bass in both lakes and in
area farm ponds. Minnows and crawlers are working good catching the
bass plus some say minnows are a good bet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
catfish--channel cats are moving good and have been hitting on shad sides
and guts, crawlers, livers, and minnows. Some of the larger
ones have been caught on gold fish. We have seen some real nice ones in the last week. The
flatheads are not moving much as of yet. At
least we haven't seen or heard much on them as yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Want to let you know that there is an all species KIDS Team Tournament coming
up. Its being sponsored by the Marion Lake Association on Sunday, June 6th, 2004.

Kansas so the adult that would be coming with the team of two kids wouldn't necessarily
need a license at that time. Entry Fee is $25.00 per Team. There will be 80%
payback in prizes and cash. Time is 1 p.m. to 6 p.m with pre-team/check-in
meeting held at 12 p.m./12:30 p.m. For more information or to get entry forms call Warren
