Rend lake crappie are scattered everywhere. Jigs and minnows are both working. Fish water anywhere from 1 to 12 feet. Moving a lot is key to catching a good mess. Cats are still great. Anything that smells will work. Bass have slowed but the shallow bite is still the best. Shallow cranks and soft plastics.

The catfish bite is a red hot ticket this week. Coolers full of big channel cats are easy. Shrimp and cut shad r the best. Look for them on top water when the wind isn't blowing. The crappie bite is still good too. Minnows are still the best but white jigs are pickin up. Big mouth bass are being caught everywhere on everything. Bass are great on the ok pond this year.

The crappie bit well today . They are heavily favoring minnows over jigs. The cats are in the rocks and on the flats. Cut shad is by far the best. Bass are all over almost anything u want to throw depending on the cover and time of day. The night bite is on at lake Egypt big worms and black spinnerbaits will both work.
