Yellow PerchTechniqueVertical Jigging Shallow (0-9')SeasonWinterStructureBaitfishOn 11/7/2020: After disappointing bass fishing, my daughters and I switched to catching the panfish we were seeing in schools on the graph in about 8 ft of water. We caught decent perch casting grubs on 1/16oz or 1/8oz panfish jigs tipped with bright colored grubs.

CrappieTechniqueVertical Jigging Mid Depth (10-19')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRock PileChased schools of crappie throughout the lake. Seemed to be moving with the baitfish in 8-15 feet of water. Tried to find ambush points and/or areas of warmth (rock mixed with emerging vegetation).

Caught some nice males staging off the rocks on a small basin in 4’ of water. Clarity is only about 18” bobbers with crawlers didn’t get much action. Casting and letting the Boot tail Jig on slack line and hopping it back on a slow retrieve was key.

Weeds were starting to grow and sparse once you were away from the bank. Casting a chatterbait among the sparse grass was producing in the general area where there is an inflow of water.

2nd Weekend in May. Water teamps 58-60F. Some fish likely spawning, but water clarity does not facilitate sight fishing. Definitely a population of fish still staging to spawn as well. Green Pumpkin or Bluegill colored Chatterbaits / Bladed Jigs were the key. Covering water and grass & any visible cover from 1-4' produced high numbers of catches along with several quality 3lb plus fish. Was difficult to get bit on any other lures.

September 22: a cloudy, breezy day. With the boat in only 8' to 9' of water, the bigger bass were biting on the calmer shore on a plopper. You could catch some of the fish that missed the topwater by winding a spinnerbait through the area, or dropping a neko rigged senko in.

I didn't get any bites running a chatter sit over the submerged weeds or flipping a Texas rigged bait among the weeds. However as the sun started setting they started hitting frogs among the weeds.
