The south shore, from Harris Creek to the dam is good largemouth territory. Shad colored crankbaits account for good catches and topwaters are productive early and late. One good rule to remember here is, fish shallow early and move out to deeper water as to day progresses. Catfish bite good from March thru November. The usual baits are, cut mackerel, anchovies, nightcrawlers, and live or fresh dead shad.
Waterdogs work good to entice the bigger cats to bite.
There are channel cats and blue cats here. They average a respectable 10lbs, with the lake record at 25lbs even. The last cove to the right of the dam, Bee Rock Cove, and the Shallows are top producers of catfish. Night fishing is allowed at San Antonio and many catfishermen will take advantage of the nightfishing opportunity. Crappie fishing here has been good for the past few years.
