Lake Blue Cypress

Bass anglers can expect largemouth bass to be in a post-spawn mode to start this quarter. Bass tend to move out to the outer emergent grasses and cypress trees along the lake’s perimeter as they feed on schooling fish this time of the year. Big M Canal and Zigzag Canal are additional sites where bass anglers may want to focus their attention. Dark colored plastic worms, swim baits, spinner baits, and live bait (golden shiners) are all considered effective.

Bluegill and redear sunfish will be coming inshore for their spawn throughout the quarter. Look for them on the shell bars just offshore and around vegetation in the deepest water with hard bottom they use for spawning. The edges of Big M Canal should also be holding decent numbers of panfish. Fly-rod popping bugs, small jigs, ultra small spinner baits, and live bait (crickets, shrimp, and worms) are the most popular choices.

Black crappie will continue to be caught by anglers trolling and drifting the deeper areas of the lake using small jigs, beetle-spins, and live minnows. Big M should also be holding fish along floating vegetation.
