Lake Lincoln State Park

Bass fishing is slow on topwaters and soft plastics. At a recent tournament, 15.3 pounds took first place, and big bass was 7.8 pounds. Anglers are having luck around brushpiles along the dam and on ledges. Dark colored finesse worms are working well. Red shad, green pumpkin and bamabug colors work well.

Bream fishing is fair. Try crickets in shallow water and worms around brushtops or other structure in 5 — 10 feet of water.

Crappie fishing is slow. Chartreuse/purple or chartreuse/black tube jigs as well as minnows have been productive.

The catfish bite is fair. Anglers have done well at night along the dam with shrimp. Also try cutbait and worms fished on the bottom.
Lake Mary Crawford

Bass fishing is fair right now. Try junebug or watermelon red colors around the stumps.

Bream fishing is good. Some anglers are catching 20 to 50 per day, and one angler caught 79. Crickets and wax worms are the best bets. The redear are averaging close to one pound each. Try fishing in 5 — 10 feet of water using crickets and worms off the ends of points.

Crappie fishing is slow. A few are being caught on minnows. Try minnows and jigs around deep structure. Chartreuse and white are popular jig colors.

The catfish bite is good. The shallower flats and points are good areas to fish. Try cutbait and worms fished on the bottom.
