Crappie are scattered in post spawn mode blacks are gonna be looking for cleaner water concentrate on 10-20’ structure most fish will be looking to have water below them. Texas Toast and Slick Jim in Slab Bandits have been doing well. Dock fishing has slowed way down as fish are scattered. cats are moving shallower their being caught on mixed bait and night crawlers.

Caddo Lake by Mark Allen: Caddo Lake has been in flood stage, but the water is falling. This usually makes fishing a little harder. I wanted to give some tips on what to look for to try and help you locate some active fish. When fishing in these conditions work to locate some current to help concentrate the bass. The Big Cypress Bayou is a great place to start as this is the main place that generates a lot of current when the water is moving. These current areas will provide the bass an easy chance to find food with minimal effort. A number of baits will work in these current areas. My baits of choice is a Texas rigged soft plastic, a crankbait, and a spinnerbait.
