Fishing Report

Please visit our Fishing Message Board for current reports.


Fish	Where to Fish	Type of Bait
Striper	Striper fishing remains good in certain areas. With recent heavy rains, the Clarksville area is very dirty with lots of logs and trash. There have been good reports of fish around Goat Island up to the mouth of Eastland Creek. Fisherman have been using live bait, super flukes with jig heads and Flip Flop buck tails. Most fish are running four to six pounds in size. Visit our Message Board for Current Fish Patterns	Live Bait, Flukes, Buck Tails
Crappie	Crappie fishing slowed up a little with high lake levels, which seems to scatter fish. The lake slowly dropping will pull fish back out to the deeper brush piles and off shore homes. Casting jigs and tight lining seem to work well. Hot fall colors are Pearl, Black/Chart, Red/Chart, Cajun Cricket, and John Deere Green. Visit our Message Board for Current Fish Patterns	Jigs, Minnows
Catfish NO Change	Blues are being found in deeper waters around Goat Island and flatheads remain in the Clarksville area on main river channel bends and breaks. Most fishermen are anchoring and/or drifting using bottom rigs and free lines using large corks. Baits of choice are bream, large shad, goldfish and cutbait. Visit our Message Board for Current Fish Patterns	Live Shad, Bream
Large Mouth Bass	Fish are using deeper pockets with bait present. Fisherman are mostly throwing deep running crank baits in front of flooded bushes. There have been reports on good numbers and sizes of two to four pounds. A few good areas to try are Grassy Creek, panhandle, and Butch's/Rudd's Creek. Water temperatures are in the mid fifties.
