Taberville Report

Fishing is good The blue cats are really biting. You can catch blue cats from the bank. The banks are mostly dry.

I’ve got perch and gold fish now. The blues really like them and cut bait. Haven’t seen hardly any flatheads.

You can launch a boat now.

We are open from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Closed Sundays and Mondays until next snagging season.

Crappie are hitting good. Everybody that goes down there catches four or five. Some people catch a limit. They catch an occasional white bass. Best bait is minnows.

The Corps is running the water some and that has brought the fish up.

Another fishing reporter told me the top fell off the east end of the dam letting the water run all the time. The crappie like that.

Our hours are 9-6 and Sundays 9-5.
