Bait: Jigs and jigs w/minnow, waxworm, beemoth
Depth: Shallow to 8 ft -12 ft. +
Comments about fish:
Crappie fishing success has improved with the cooling water temperatures. Crappie seem to be moving into shallower water.
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.

Bait: tube jigs w/cricket or redworm
Depth: 8 ft. to12 ft. +
Comments about fish:
Larger 'gills are still in deeper water along weed beds and near structure. Success is still pretty good.
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: 6 ft to12 ft. +
Comments about fish:
Catfish success has slowed in direct proportion with the fishing attempts. Trotline/limbline fishing has closed until the 1st Thursday in April, 2011.
