Richland Chambers lake level

February 8, 2009 on 11:31 am | In Uncategorized | No Comments

Our lake level is now 1 inch above being 5ft low. Water temps are around the mid 50’s.

Not much on Crappie yet. Maybe with the warm up coming this week they will move to the banks by the weekend.

Catfish doing good fishing windy banks in shallow water using shad or stink bait. If no wind fish around timber 10 to 15ft deep. Not many people jug fishing but it should be good fishing in 12 to 18ft of water with cut bait or live perch.

Sand bass have been fair being caught off points and humps 20 to28ft deep. Best baits have been tail spinners or slabs. Not many birds to mark them but they will be near any birds sitting on the water.

Black bass are getting much better with the water warming up. Most being caught 2 to 6ft deep around heavy cover. Best baits have been spinner baits and rattling baits. Also a few on watermelon lizards.
