Garnett North Fishing Report -
Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location |
---|---|---|---|
Crappie | Fair | 8-14 inches | Look for them along the deeper ledges near woody structure. Jigs and plastics or jigs tipped with minnows. |
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. Topwater season is here throwing buzzbaits, poppers, or ploppers early and late in the day should be productive. "Hover Strolling" with a jighead and minnow shaped plastic paired with Live Sonar units are very effective during this post spawn through summer timeframe. 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. |

Please remember to help STOP AQUATIC HITCHHIKERS! CLEAN, DRAIN, and DRY your boat and livewell when leaving water bodies. Four Georgia Cube Fish Attractors were placed by the fishing dock (2on the East end and 2 on the West end) on the north end of the lake. DO NOT MOVE FISH OR BAIT TO DIFFERENT WATERS! |
