Lake Tom Bailey - 11/9/2009
Water temperature is under 70 degrees.
BASS fishing is fair. Anglers are having best luck running crankbaits along the rip-rap on the levee. Some large fish are being caught, but most fish are 13 to 15 inches.
BREAM fishing remains good this week from the bank or in a boat. Fish in water around 6-8 feet with cricket.
Lots of CRAPPIE are coming out of deep water (most are <12 inches). Fish the drain structure or willow trees on the edge of the channels with a jig.
CATFISH bite should pick since fish from the rodeo were released. Night fishing is best in deep water. Anglers are using chicken livers.
Camping is available for overnight stays.
A depth/bottom map is available showing locations of fish attractors and other lake features. The link to our lake map page is:
