The updated depth map with coordinates of fish attractors are now available at: http://home.mdwfp.com/pdfgallery.aspx?Albumid=84&Page=4 - click on the Eagle Lake PDF.
Bream fishing has been getting better. A couple of reports of catching large bream (3/4lbs-1lbs) on crickets and jigs. The cooler temperatures have moved the bream into the winter pattern. Reports of catching some around the deep ends of the piers and deep water structure.
Bass fishing is good(same as last week). The temperature has cooled down the water and bass are beginning to bite! Reports of catching 15 and 20 fish fishing morning or evening. The bass have moved up shallow. Try soft plastics and white spinnerbaits around the piers and sunken structure. The trees around the islands should be good to pitch a jig around. Report of the fish being clustered on individual trees. You might have to fish a few trees before you find them. But once you find one fish on a tree, there are probably more there. Just be patient! Also, try crankbaits and rattletraps over dropoffs or around structure.
Catfishing is excellent. Trotlines are very effective. Fishermen have reported catching fish on limblines and noodles using cutbait.
Hybrid stripers can be caught trolling crankbaits and tailspinners along flats next to the channel from the boat ramp to Muddy Bayou and above and below Garfield's ramp.
Crappie are turning on! A few reports of fishermen catching good numbers of big crappie around the deep piers. Try a minnows or jigs.
