Not much action on crappie at this time.
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: Redworms and crickets, tube jigs
Depth: 12 ft. +
Comments about fish:
Bluegill fishing pressure is low. Success has slackened. Larger 'gills have moved into deeper water along weed beds and near structure. Due to the extended heat wave, fishermen are off the lake by 10:00 AM and don't go back out until early evening near sundown.
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: Live bait and worms, chicken liver
Depth: 12 ft. +
Comments about fish:
A few are being taken on limb lines and trotlines. Fishermen are using worms or chicken liver for channels and live bait for flatheads. Some action for the handline fishermen on the lake and the ponds late afternoon through dusk. Trotline/limbline permits will be issued through Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010*. *Please Note: This date may change. Ending date for trotline permits is subject to the beginning date of the October Waterfowl Season dates as determined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Largemouth bass
Description:

Bait: Artificial worms, crank baits
Depth: 15' +
Comments about fish:
Trolling and and using artificial worms (dark in color). Fishermen report little success. Anglers advise the bass are very lethargic probably due to the high temperature of the lake water.
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.

Same as bluegills. In deeper water along weed beds and near structure along old roadbeds just off the bottom.

Bait: Deep, just off the bottom
Depth: Redworms, nightcrawlers
Comments about fish:
A few being taken while fishing for redear.
Comments about body of water:
Dogwood Lake is at summer pool and the water is clear. Surface temperatures are ranging from 87+ degrees in the morning and into the 90's by mid afternoon. The forecast for this area for the rest of this week indicates minimal chance for precipitation until the week-end with isolated thunder showers/storms possible on Saturday. Daily high air temperatures are forecast to be in the upper 80's and daily lows in the low to mid 60's.
