The goldfish are catching big bass around the county reports coming in daily from Lake Mauzy and Moffits along with our neighboring county lakes. We have talked to our local fisherman the sizes are averaging 6 to 8 lbs. The stripers at the dam and deep tributaries are being caught on 3" and 4" shad bodies white and green using 1 oz jig head. The catfish are moving in to rocky points to spawn and stage up. We have the baits to catch all these fish from our local waters. Highly recommend the goldfish and large shiners but if artificial is your thing we got that too. No crappie reports this morning but that will be updated soon later today. Yesterday was an amazing day as I sit out in the shop I could hear the rain pouring down and thought today be good day to take inventory and clean store but to my surprise the first customer pulled in then the second then the third all day long yall just kept coming and it was just awesome got me out of cleaning and you guys caught fish. Now that was a success. I have a very special place on lake barkley that you can catch slabs year round from 95° to 10° the water is deep and clear year round one lucky customer will get to go with me personally and we will catch slab after slab on the hottest day or the coldest day on fathead minnows cane pole is all we will need and a crappie net. And of course a very large cooler. We will be drawing for that trip in July. Remember Aug 8 family day 10 am till 12:30 pm food truck and kids fishing tournament giving away a 2026 pond prowler 10 must be here to win. Thanks for all the support stocking tanks in about an hour with goldfish and and large shiners for you guys. Happy Catching
