Fishing report for June 6

Brent’s best bet: You’d better set the alarm clock and get up early if you plan to fish Table Rock Lake this weekend. Some of the best action is taking place in the first hour of daylight, where the topwater fishing has been excellent for white bass and largemouth and smallmouth bass. The white bass fishing has also been excellent a little later on inline spinners and Rat-L-Traps where fish are schooling.

Fishing report for May 30

Brent’s best bet: The fishing at El Dorado Lake near Wichita is hot. Fishermen are catching nice-sized walleyes drifting the flats. And they’re picking up stripers and white bass trolling crankbaits along windy banks.

Fishing report for May 23

Brent’s best bet: The fishing is hot at Pomona Lake this week. The crappie spawn appears to be over, but that doesn’t mean they have stopped hitting. In fact, many limits of crappies have been caught in 15 to 18 feet of water in the brush. Wipers and white bass are being caught on the flats, and catfish also are hitting.
