Bait: Minnows,Jigs,
Depth: 10 to 12 ft. down in deep water
Comments about fish:
Few fishing attempts for crappies. Those anglers trying for crappie are fishing deep using minnows or jigs w/curly-tail worm and fishing around and over brush piles.
Bluegill
Description:
Sunfishes include some of the best-known fish in Indiana. Bluegill, redear sunfish, black and white crappie, largemouth, spotted and smallmouth bass are all members of the sunfish family. The bluegill has five to nine vertical bars on its sides, a black opercle flat (ear) with no margin and a dark spot at the rear of it's dorsal fin.
Bait: Jigs/Beemoth,Red Wigglers, crickets
Depth: 12 - 15 ft. of water
Comments about fish:
Early morning and late evening has been the rule for fishermen during the long period of extremely hot weather. Best success has been on jigs with a beemoth over old roadbeds. During cooler portions of the day, fish around 2 ft. deep. During the warmer part of the morning or evening fish in 12 to 15 ft of water just off the bottom.
Channel catfish
Description:
The channel catfish has a smooth scaleless skin and barbels on its face resembling cat whiskers. The barbels help the channel catfish taste and feel objects and enable it to locate food in dark and turbid water. The channel catfish has 24-29 rays in its rounded anal fin. The caudal fin is deeply forked and the fish has dark spots on its sides when young.
Bait: Worms, Liver, Live Bait
Depth: Deeper water - no exact depth
Comments about fish:
Channels are starting to bite in the deeper water off points. Both channels and flatheads are hitting on nightcrawlers. Best time to fish is from 6:00 PM until full dark. Some anglers are handline fishing all night especially a few days before, during and just after a full moon. Trotline/Limbline season began Thursday, April 7 and runs through Wednesday, October 19, 2011. 15 permits will be issued per week on a first/come, first/serve basis. The October 19 end date is subject to change should there be an october waterfowl hunting season.
Largemouth bass

Sunfishes include some of the best-known fish in Indiana. Bluegill, redear sunfish, black and white crappie, largemouth, spotted and smallmouth bass are all members of the sunfish family. On the largemouth bass, the upper jaw extends beyond back of eye, differentiating the fish from the smallmouth bass. The largemouth bass commonly reached six pounds.
Bait: Crank baits, Jigs,
Depth: 8 ft. and deeper
Comments about fish:
A few hardy fishermen are out there trying for bass. Again, the preferred time to fich is early morning or late evening. Anglers are still using deep running crank baits, rattle baits or worm-harness.

Just about the same as bluegills.

Comments about fish:
No Report
Comments about body of water:
Dogwood Lake is approximately 3 inches below summer pool and surface temperature is running in the mid to high 80 degree range. The water for the most part is clear but there is a lot of algae and American Lotus in the shallow bays. The daytime temperatures are forecast to be in the 80's with a 40% to 50% chance of t-storms on Monday. The chance for inclement weather diminishes each day with a 20% chance for the end of the week. Note: The horsepower limit HAS BEEN REMOVED from Dogwood Lake. However, regardless of horsepower, there is a MAXIMUM Speed Limit of 10 MPH imposed on the lake!
