Comments: Black Bass bite is still stingy with reports of fish being caught near rip rap and docks with spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and the local favorite Biffle bug. Crappie bite has improved with fish being caught suspended off of brush piles in the main lake. Catfish bite is still good with worms and shad still producing well. Jug fishing has also produced nice fish this week. For the bow anglers out there carp and buffalo are all over the banks in high numbers. Sunfish are still excellent!

Grand Lake Report
May 28. Elevation is Normal (stable), water temperature 74°F and stained. (USACE Lake Level)

Comments: Fishing activity has been high during the holiday weekend and the bite was decent with several days of tranquil weather. Crappie activity has moved out into brush structure, and catfish have moved from the deeps of winter into more shallow feeding areas. Put on some cut bait or worms and throw a line from the bank or dock—-you might find an old catfish lurking.
