Bass fishing good year-round, with the biggest usually caught from February through April when they are near the bank. Bluegill and shellcracker (redear sunfish) are caught by bank and boat anglers from spring through summer. Catfish are caught year-round, but the summer months are best. Crappie fishing is best in February through May and August through November. No charge for fish caught.
