Lake Lincoln - 11/18/2009
temperature 62
visibility 35in
Try fishing slowly. As the cold front settles in, the fish could be bite slow.
Bass fishing has been fair. Spinnerbaits are usually good on the north end of the lake in shallow water. Try a white skirt with silver Colorado blades. There is a good population of trophy fish in Lake Lincoln. Try soft plastics in deeper water. Red shad or tequila sunrise. Deep diving shad color crankbaits are good around the depth changes(ledges). Use a depth map(see bottom) to fing the ledges.
Bream fishing is fair. Some reports of fish being caught on worms, but crickets are the way to go.
Crappie fishing is good. Shiners have been the best bait, but jigs can work too. Fish the north side of the island on the deep channel.
Catfish are biting well. Best bait has been chicken livers and catalpa worms. Try tightlining in medium depth water. The new water from the rain has stimulated the catfish to start feeding.
