Palestine Fishing Report

Mar 13, 2024
GOOD. Water normal stain; 63 degrees; 0.16 feet above pool. Crappie fishing is good on jigs and minnows in 1-15 feet of water. About half of the fish have already spawned. Bass fishing is good in 2-8 feet of water on plastics around structure and baits that displace water on grass lines and edges of structure. Report by Sam Parker, Freshwater Fishing Adventures. The weather frontal activity keeps interfering with water temperature and it seems stuck in the 62-64 degree range. This is not encouraging the spawn and the shoreline reeds still need to green up. Yellow bass are spawning both in the shallows on sandy shore next to reeds and in deeper hard humps, clay and gravel bottoms, and roadbeds, down to about 10-13 feet. These littlest members of the striped bass family have no minimum size or bag limit, have almost no red meat, and make tasty little 2 bite filets. Most small crappie jigs and minnows will catch them. Report by Jim Beggerly, Jim’s Fishing.
