Largemouth Bass Fishing

Currently, largemouth bass dominate the bass fishing scene at Caesar Creek Lake. The lake has plenty of cover and baitfish to keep bass content. Fishing for largemouth bass is good virtually any time they are shallow - in spring, mornings in summer, and during warm fall afternoons. Use shallow crankbaits around rip rap. Around grass use worms, jigs, topwater and spinnerbaits. In deeper water, big worms, jigs and spoons are three good weapons. In winter, spend your time on deeper structure.

Smallmouth Bass Fishing

Smallmouth bass are a bonus at Caesar Creek Lake, plus they are plentiful and easy to catch, once located. Fishing for smallmouth bass is good anytime they are shallow - in spring, during high water, mornings in summer and during warmer fall afternoons. Use shallow crankbaits around rip rap, and around grass use worms, jigs, topwater and spinnerbaits. In winter, spend your time on deeper structure with small worms, jigs and spoons.

Black Crappie

Black crappie reside in good numbers throughout Caesar Creek Lake, and they are averaging a very good size this year. Often this is the best crappie lake in the state. Crappie fishing is excellent and they are running in sizeable schools. Crappie always like cover and structure, so locate shallow brush and vegetation. Using a fish finder can help locate schools of crappie, which tend to stack vertically around cover. In spring and fall focus on the 8 to 12 foot range. As the crappie move deep in summer and winter, follow points out deep, as well as find ledges near channels in deeper water. White crappie, in smaller numbers, also make this lake their home.
