Garnett North Fishing Report - Updated: 6/21/24

Species Rating Size Baits, Method & Location
Crappie Fair 8-14 inches  Look for them along the deeper ledges near woody structure. Jigs and plastics or jigs tipped with minnows.
Channel catfish Good 8-30 inches Livers, shad sides, or other prepared baits along ledges or windy banks. The upper end of the lake should be good when water is running in. Don't be afraid to fish shallow.
Largemouth Bass Fair-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. Topwater season is here throwing buzzbaits, poppers, or ploppers early and late in the day should be productive. "Hover Strolling" with a jighead and minnow shaped plastic paired with Live Sonar units are very effective during this post spawn through summer timeframe. 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.

Please remember to help STOP AQUATIC HITCHHIKERS! CLEAN, DRAIN, and DRY your boat and livewell when leaving water bodies. 

Four Georgia Cube Fish Attractors were placed by the fishing dock (2on the East end and 2 on the West end) on the north end of the lake. 

DO NOT MOVE FISH OR BAIT TO DIFFERENT WATERS!
