(updated 7-3-2019) Bates Field and Stream (501-470-1846) said the clarity is stained and the water level is normal. No surface temperature was recorded. Bream are good. Redworms and crickets will work, of course, but also try hair-tie jigs. Anglers report they\u2019re also effective. Crappie are good; use crappie minnows or small jigs. Black bass are good. Spinnerbaits and plastic worms are great to use, but pretty much anything is getting a reaction, they say \u2013 buzzbaits, frogs, bass minnows, etc. Catfishing os good on trotlines with goldfish, stink bait and dough bait.<\/p>\n
(updated 7-3-2019) Hatchet Jack\u2019s in Crystal Hill (501-758-4958) reports that bream are good again this week. They\u2019re hitting redworms and crickets. Catfish are good on trotlines and limblines baited with bream or goldfish. No other reports.<\/p>\n
