Fishing Reports

[mclothier1]

Anybody know where I can find a good fishing report?

Looks like I will be down in a couple of weeks and Im not that familiar with Grand with the exception of fishing for white bass in the spring above Twin Bridges park, or down at Langley.

This time it looks like Ill be fishing between Twin Bridges and Grove

Wouldn't mind running into some crappie or white bass.

Thanks!

This is the only report I know of. There's a tackle store right in downtown Grove, I think those folks could at least give you a general idea about what's going on with the whites.

Twin Bridges to Grove is a lot of real estate. There were some white bass up spring river last night, but if you really wanted something you could count on, I'd head towards Grove. Patricia Island, Two Tree and Bad Island, Governors Island, all have humps around them that the whites really like and would be a good place to start. Usually, in the fall, if they aren't out on the humps look for the nearest gravel point that the wind has been blowing in to. Crappie, I couldn't tell you. Usually in the fall if I want to catch some I head up the rivers and catch them shallow on wood but I haven't been.

I crossed the lower Grand on 412 yesterday, there was and is a lot of water flushing that drainage.

How far up the river? I know in the spring its pretty normal to be up past the 10 bridge. Never really fished the main lake... well I guess my Dad did take me fishing there way back when I was a teenager, so that dont count.

Thanks for the link and the advice.

I haven't been in a month or better now. fishing was getting really slow so we decided to stop driving down, did get a three pound channel cat last time though. of course it might have picked up by now.

It's a good time of the year to drift fish for blue cats if you're into that.

Not really into catfishing.

I dont think I would want to be down by Langley when they are dumping serious water.

I think my plan of attack is gonna be something like this...

Troll crankbaits across points and dropoffs, figure they will be hanging around those places since they are dumping water. And if we manage to find any, switch over to casting bucktail jigs to see if we can stay on them. If they don't like the jigs... we can always go back to the crankbaits. Probably wouldn't hurt to keep something handy in case they blowup on top.

If all else fails... might try the jig or worm around some docks.

***EDIT*** forgot to add... And if that dont work, we'll just kick back and crack open a few cold ones

Had a good time, the fishing was pretty slow... tried everything I could think of and ended up catching only two white bass, probably loners since we couldnt seem to find any schools of them. Also ended up catching a couple of nice 4# channel cats even though I really wasnt trying to catch them.

Sorry to hear that, it's a tough time of year for fishing right now for sure.
