Lake Claude Bennett - 11/9/2009
Water temperature is low 60 degrees and visibility is over 40 inches. We put out over 150 Christmas trees around attractor buoys this spring.
BASS bite is good on small white flukes and brush-hogs. Fish around weed line. Large fish are hanging out near the bream beds off the land piers.
BREAM have slowed from all the fresh water. Fish around land piers below the campground and off the large, wooden fishing pier. Crickets producing best.
CRAPPIE bite only reported a few. Use jigs around the underwater Christmas tree piles in 8-10 feet deep.
CATFISH have picked up.
Campsites are available.
A depth/bottom map is available showing locations of fish attractors and other lake features. The link to our lake map page is:

Several fish attractors have been established in the lake to create fish habitat and a hot spot for anglers. Approximately 150 Christmas trees were added to the sites in January 2007. They provide great habitat for all species of fish. These attractors are marked with buoys for anglers to easily find and are loaded down with Christmas trees. Other habitat enhancements include several bream gravel spawning beds located near the shoreline and fishing piers. These areas are great for locating bream during the late spring and early summer months.
GPS coordinates for the fish attractors are:
N 32 06.089 W 89 02.030
