Weekly Fishing Report from Huxley Bay Marina

April 30, 2015 - Hello from Huxley Bay Marina. This is the fishing report from Marvin.

I've been out white/yellow bass fishing on the sand bars. And I have been catching some on lead slabs. As a bonus (depending on how you look at it) been getting a fair amount of Drum at the same time. It is always fun catching them.

The Crappie is still biting on little jigs and crappie nibblers. Been getting them in the shallows, about 5ft-9ft. Hear some people catching them on minnows so if you like using them they are still working.
