Fishing report for June 29

Taberville Report

Fishing with trotlines especially has been good. I haven’t heard of too much luck with rod and reel fishing but with trotlining they have been using the big carp for bait going after the giant flatheads. I don’t know any weights but I know they were successful over the weekend with that.

They were also using bullheads and gold fish for bluecats.

Crappie fishing: I’ve only heard one report from Schell. They guy said he caught a small one there by the tube. He had two bites that he fought for several minutes and both of them broke 8 lb. test line so he’s thinking maybe the blue cats were biting on his minnows. It wasn’t going to be a crappie.

He came back in and bought another half pound of minnows. I’m just hoping he changed his tackle.

A guy came in today that said they caught a few crappie. He didn’t say what size or where they caught them. But at least we know they are biting.

Fishing is pretty good. They are catching a lot of bluegill in the river now, here below the dam and at Caplinger. Catfish are still biting.

Crappie have slowed down.

They are still running water 3 or 4 hours a day.

Walleye are still biting in the lake below 23 feet on worm harnesses.

Crappie are in the brushpiles probably 20 ft. deep or so.
