Fish
Black crappie
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 Black crappie has seven to eight dorsal spines, as well as some random blotches on it's sides.
Bait: Minnows,Jigs,
Depth: 6 to 12 ft.of water
Comments about fish:
Fishing pressure for crappie remains light. Those folks trying for crappie have had limited success using minnows and fishing over structures such as brushpiles and in stick-ups.
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: 4 - 10 ft. of water
Comments about fish:
With cooler water temperatures fishermen are having some success in shallower water, especially during early morning and late afternoon/early evening hours. Some anglers are using crickets although the more successful fishermen are using jigs with a beemoth attached. The shallow bays still have a lot of American Lotus and coontail making it difficult to fish for bluegills in some areas.
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 have been hitting in the deeper water off points and along creek channels. Both channels and flatheads are hitting on nightcrawlers and live bait. 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 which occurs on 9/12. Line/line 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.
Largemouth bass
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. 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,Spinners
Depth: 8 ft. and deeper
Comments about fish:
Most bass fishermen are still fishing in deeper water using deep running crankbaits, worm harness, and rattle baits. By mid-week, air temperatures took a sharp drop and bass began to move into shallower water. Spinner baits with light colored skirts have been successful during the latter part of this week.
Redear sunfish
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 redear sunfish has an opercle flap (ear) that is tipped with a red or orange margin.
Bait: Jigs, pieces of nightcrawler or beemoth
Depth: 10 - 15 ft. deep
Comments about fish:
Just about the same as bluegills.
Yellow perch
Description:
Indiana anglers have long since sought perch for their tasty flavor. The yellow perch, walleye and sauger are members of this popular family. The yellow perch ranges from 6 to 12 inches long and up to one or two pounds.
Bait: No Report
Depth: No Report
Comments about fish:
No Report
Comments about body of water:
Dogwood Lake is approximately 9 inches below summer pool and surface temperature is running in the high 70 to low 80 degree range. The water is clear but there is a lot of coontail and American Lotus in the shallow bays. The aquatic weed harvester has been running for the past three weeks targeting the shallow bays. Several acres of water have been opened up to both boat and shoreline fishermen. The long range forecast is for temperatures to range from the mid 50's to the upper 70's. The HORSEPOWER LIMIT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM DOGWOOD LAKE. There is a MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT OF 10 MPH IMPOSED on the lake REGARDLESS of motor size!
