Bob Sandlin Fishing Report

Jul 9, 2025

FAIR. Water stained; 87 degrees; 0.04 feet above pool. The overall bite has slowed down this week. Bass are fair at night feeding under lights and active at day break. Crappie slow to fair between 15-25 feet deep on any structure above the thermocline. Catfish are good, actively roaming points and humps. White bass have been the most aggressive biters this week hitting minnows and anything shiny. Report by Chris Caswell, Lake Bob Sandlin Crappie Fishing Guide. Flyfishing for bass should produce bass with Dock knockers and small clousers around retaining walls. Look for midday shade near boat houses. Topwater patterns in lilies should be good at mid and late day. Catfish are shallow, wooly buggers should work well. Clousers on sunny rocky shores might draw a strike. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie continue to congregate on structure, schooling on timber in 10-30 feet of water. Minnows are preferred over jigs. The quality of fish is phenomenal. Report by River Bottom Boys Guide Service.
