Catfish action has been a little sluggish. The lake has risen several feet in the last couple of weeks which could mean there is a surplus of food for the catfish to forage. Lake Wohlford cats respond well to cut mackerel or chicken liver. Stop by the ranger station for a dough-bait recipe that works well on both catfish and carp.

Small to medium sized bass being reported mostly around structure. The bass are hitting plastic worms, chatter-baits and jerk-baits.

Still good numbers of crappie being reported. Crappie prefer live golden shiners or mini-jigs.
