Bait: Minnows,Jigs,
Depth: 6 to 12 ft.of water
Comments about fish:
Very few fishing attempts for crappies. Those anglers trying for crappie are fishing deep using minnows or jigs w/curly-tail worm and fishing around and over brush piles and other structure.
Bluegill
Description:
Sunfishes include some of the best-known fish in Indiana. Bluegill, redear sunfish, black and white crappie, largemouth, spotted and smallmouth bass are all members of the sunfish family. The bluegill has five to nine vertical bars on its sides, a black opercle flat (ear) with no margin and a dark spot at the rear of it's dorsal fin.
Bait: Jigs/Beemoth,Red Wigglers, crickets
Depth: 4 - 10 ft. of water
Comments about fish:
With cooler water temperatures fishermen are having some success in shallower water, especially during early morning and late afternoon/early evening hours. Some anglers are using crickets although the more successfuly fishermen are using jigs with a beemoth attached.
Channel catfish
Description:
The channel catfish has a smooth scaleless skin and barbels on its face resembling cat whiskers. The barbels help the channel catfish taste and feel objects and enable it to locate food in dark and turbid water. The channel catfish has 24-29 rays in its rounded anal fin. The caudal fin is deeply forked and the fish has dark spots on its sides when young.
Bait: Worms, Liver, Live Bait
Depth: Deeper water - no exact depth
Comments about fish:
Channels have been hitting in the deeper water off points and along creek channels. Both channels and flatheads are hitting on nightcrawlers and live bait. Best time to fish is from 6:00 PM until full dark. Some anglers are handline fishing all night especially a few days before, during and just after a full moon. Trotline/Limbline season began Thursday, April 7 and runs through Wednesday, October 19, 2011. 15 permits will be issued per week on a first/come, first/serve basis. The October 19 end date is subject to change should there be an october waterfowl hunting season.

On the largemouth bass, the upper jaw extends beyond back of eye, differentiating the fish from the smallmouth bass. The largemouth bass commonly reached six pounds.
Bait: Crank baits, Jigs,Spinners
Depth: 8 ft. and deeper
Comments about fish:
Most bass fishermen are still fishing in deeper water using deep running crankbaits, worm harness, and rattle baits. There are indications that largemouth bass are beginning to go into shallower water to feed and a few anglers are beginning to use spinner baits with light colored skirts, especially in the early morning and late afternoon hours.

No Report
Comments about body of water:
Dogwood Lake is approximately 6 inches below summer pool and surface temperature is running in the high 70 to low 80 degree range. The water for the most part is clear but there is a lot of algae and American Lotus in the shallow bays. The aquatic weed harvester has been running for the past 8 to 10 days targeting shoreline fishing areas and shallow bays. Several acres of water have been opened up to both shoreline and boat fishermen. The long range weather forecast for this area is daily high's to reach into the mid 80's and nighttime lows range from the low 50's to low 60 degrees F. Note: The horsepower limit HAS BEEN REMOVED from Dogwood Lake. However, regardless of horsepower, there is a MAXIMUM Speed Limit of 10 MPH imposed on the lake1!
