The craw is also good on Snyder Bend. Too many other fishermen use them. It's excellent on tough days. I think the fish hang onto them longer. Berkley Power Baits are good too.
Fish actually eat the claws right off the craws.
That's the word from George Gage, refuge manager of the DeSoto Bend Wildlife Refuge. The fishing season here opens on April 15 and extends through Oct. 14. Three drainage ditches empty into the lake and the lake's water can be muddy after heavy rains in the area. But runoff isn't the only problem relating to dirty water in the lake. A massive bullhead population does its share of roiling the waters.
