Garnett North Fishing Report - Updated: 7/31/25

Species Rating Size Baits, Method & Location
Crappie Fair 8-14 inches  Look for crappie around deeper water habitats near dropoffs and woody structure. Jigs and plastics or jigs tipped with minnows. Recent sampling shows good numbers of fish over 10"
Channel catfish Good 8-30 inches Livers, shad sides, or other prepared baits along ledges or windy banks. Don't be afraid to fish shallow.
Largemouth Bass Fair-Good up to 5lbs. Spinnerbaits, vibrating jigs, or crankbaits should produce in shallow water around structure. Utilize the Texas rig or wacky rig if the fish need something slower. Buzzbaits and frogs fished along the water willow edges could be real productive in early morning and evening times. The length limit was changed to a 15"-21" protected slot limit. You are encouraged to harvest all bass under 15" to improve the population. Fish still bite in hot weather focus your efforts earlier or later in the day or out around deeper structure during the midday hours.
Wipers Fair up to 6 lbs Chicken livers or shad imitating baits such as crankbaits, spinnerbaits, rattletraps, soft jerkbaits, fished around wind blown banks and dropoffs.
