On cloudy days, mixed schools of hybrids and sandbass are coming from water as shallow as six inches over Sunken Island. Channel and blue catifsh are biting exceptionally well on humps and ridges 17-20 feet deep. Chicken livers, shrimp cut shad and prepared catfish baits are all working well. White bass have been schooling regularly around mid-lake points and submerged humps. Live minnows are producing better than crappie jigs.
Lake Limestone is an often overlooked crappie and blue catfish hotspot.
His last trip produced more than 40 crappie with a good number of them 1 to 1.5 pounds. Some of the better fishing is around brush and trees located at the mouth of creeks at depths of 15-23 feet, around the Highlines and submerged road beds out from the west bank. Live minnows are working best but red and white of solid pink jigs will also produce. The guide caught the fish on a 1.5-inch live perch early last Thursday. A recent morning trip produced 14 blues up to 13 pounds and three channel catfish.
