Garnett North Fishing Report - Updated: 11/18/24

Species Rating Size Baits, Method & Location
Crappie Fair-Good 8-14 inches  Look for them along the deeper ledges near woody structure. Jigs and plastics or jigs tipped with minnows. Recent sampling shows good numbers of fish over 10"
Channel catfish Fair-Good 8-30 inches Livers, shad sides, or other prepared baits along ledges or windy banks. Don't be afraid to fish shallow.
Largemouth Bass Good up to 5lbs. Spinnerbaits, vibrating jigs, or crankbaits should produce in shallow water around structure. Utilize the Texas rig or wacky rig if the fish need something slower. "Hover Strolling" with a jighead and minnow shaped plastic paired with Live Sonar units are very effective during fall and winter. The length limit was changed to a 15"-21" protected slot limit. You are encouraged to harvest all bass under 15" to improve the population.
Wipers Fair up to 6 lbs Chicken livers or shad imitating baits such as crankbaits, spinnerbaits, rattletraps, soft jerkbaits, fished around wind blown banks and dropoffs.
