Fishing Techniques

• For Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.

• For White bass

  Look for birds diving or surface activity to locate schools of white bass, then use lures that mimic shad or minnows to entice strikes.

• For Yellow bullhead

  Fish near the bottom, as yellow bullheads are bottom feeders. Use a slip bobber to suspend your bait just off the bottom in deeper water.
