Webster Reservoir Fishing Report -
Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
---|---|---|---|
Crappie | Fair | 7 to 17 inches | Did have reports of fish being caught on the maintained fish attractors. Would recommend fishing around the north and south shore breakwaters and fish attractors using jigs, slab spoons and jigs with minnows. Would also try fishing up in the shallows of coves as these fish will be coming into spawn in the next few weeks. |
Walleye | Fair | 14 to 28 inches | Did have reports of some fish being caught. Would recommend fishing for them just outside the maintained fish attractors using jigs and slab spoons. Spawn is winding down, however, should still be some fish to be caught along the Dam. Would also think about getting the night crawlers out and start fishing the drop-offs and flats. Trolling diving lures could also be productive. |
White Bass/Wiper | Fair | 8 to 28 inches | Did have reports of both species being caught around the north and south shore fish attractors and breakwaters using jigs and jigs tipped with minnow. Trolling diving lures could also be productive. |
Catfish | Fair | 12 to 30 inches | Did have reports of catfish being caught up in the shallows of Old Marina and Rock Point Coves using shad, shrimp, gizzards, or stink baits on the bottom. |
Largemouth Bass | Fair | 12 to 22 inches | Did have reports of fish being caught around the maintained fish attractors. |
