POSSUM KINGDOM

FAIR. Water clear; 52-56 degrees; 1.64 feet below pool. Reeling in the new year with consistent fishing patterns. Striper fishing is great and live bait is still the best method to land catches, but the deadstick bite is slowly picking up. The fish are schooled up but on the move in 30-50 feet of water. Sand bass are fair to good with the best bite on small live shad, but some can be caught using small slabs jigged in or near them. A good go-to color is white with occasional silver and chartreuse mixed in. Catfish are good on cut shad in 2-10 feet of water. Some can be caught using jug lines on cut shad. Water clarity is steady at 4-8 feet of visibility.

Catfish can be caught drifting stink bait or cut bait. Crappie are hitting minnows and jigs in open water and on brush.
