Garnett North Fishing Report - Updated: 07/15/2025

Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method & Location
Crappie	Fair	8-14 inches	Look for crappie around deeper water habitats near dropoffs and woody structure. Jigs and plastics or jigs tipped with minnows. Recent sampling shows good numbers of fish over 10"
Channel catfish	Good	8-30 inches	Livers, shad sides, or other prepared baits along ledges or windy banks. Don't be afraid to fish shallow.
Largemouth Bass	Good	up to 5lbs.	Spinnerbaits, vibrating jigs, or crankbaits should produce in shallow water around structure. Utilize the Texas rig or wacky rig if the fish need something slower. Buzzbaits and frogs fished along the water willow edges could be real productive in early morning and evening times. The length limit was changed to a 15"-21" protected slot limit. You are encouraged to harvest all bass under 15" to improve the population.
Wipers	Fair	up to 6 lbs	Chicken livers or shad imitating baits such as crankbaits, spinnerbaits, rattletraps, soft jerkbaits, fished around wind blown banks and dropoffs.
