We once again received a sizable trout stocking on 11/24/21 on the main launch ramp. It was around 1,200 lbs. the trout bite has been decent these past few weeks since we’ve been getting consistent plants. Rainbows are mainly biting on mice tails, spoons or spinners and dough Powerbaits. The guys chucking big swimbaits have been able to land a few bigger sized stripers as well. Huddlestons, punkers and glide baits have been getting most of the attention.

The largemouth and smallmouth bite is still going steady you just have to take the time to locate them schooled up and you can get some good quality fish. A fish finder has been helping lately target those deeper schools of fish. Drop shots and Carolina rigged plastics seem to be working the best, along with a few small swimbaits dragged along the bottom.

Catfish have slowed down along with bluegill and crappie. Most of these species have still been biting at the lower lagoon.

We hopefully should be getting a stock every other week from now until spring. Trout have mainly been biting on Powerbaits, spoons and garlic nightcrawlers. Small trout jigs have also been working. The striper bite has remained productive, with angels reporting limits with some decent size ones in the mix. For the most part there...... Read More
