Catfish can be caught throughout the lake, but are particularly active at the west buoys. We are stocking catfish this coming week and heavily in July. Lake Wohlford cats seek out chicken liver, shrimp, or cut mackerel.

Stop by the ranger station to request a dough-bait recipe that works well for both catfish and carp. 

A good number of Black Crappie are being caught under the crappie float or by boaters trolling for them. Crappie bite mini-jigs and live golden shiners. They prefer cover and bite best in the early mornings or late afternoons.

Largemouth Bass can be found lurking around structure or patrolling the reed beds in hopes of ambushing their prey. Bass can be caught on crankbaits, dark colored plastics, or crawdads.
