Channel Catfish

Fair

9.4 lbs.

We sampled 117 channel catfish in our October gill nets. This is slightly less than 2011 but the same as 2010. The largest fish sampled was nearly 29" and weighed 9.4 lbs. Fish feeders will be installed in May of 2013.

Sauger

Good

2.8 lbs.

In October we sampled 109 sauger in our gill nets which is nearly DOUBLE that of the 2011 sample. The largest fish sampled was nearly 20" and weighed 2.8 lbs.

Largemouth Bass

Good

7.71 lbs.

In May we sampled 235 largemouth bass in 4.25 hrs of electrofishing or 37.2 Stock length largemouth/hr which is an increase over the 2011 sample. The largest fish we sampled was nearly 22" and weighed 7.71 lbs! We also electrofished a few smallmouth bass the largest was 16.7" and weighed 2.66 lbs!

White Bass

Good

2.4 lbs.

We sampled 175 white bass in our October gill nets which is about half of what we saw in 2011. The largest fish sampled was 16.7" in length and weighed 2.4 lbs.

White Crappie

Fair

1.2 lbs.

We sampled 488 in our October traps with about half of what our 2011 sample was. The largest fish sampled was 13.8" and weighed 1.2 lbs.

There are a few fish being caught at the Marinas, caught on tube jigs or minnows in 8-12' on structure.

Blue Catfish

Slow

We sampled 6 blue cats in our fall sample which is a few less than the 2011 sample. The important part of this is that last years fish were all less than 9" and this year the largest fish sampled was 27.4" and weighed 10.8 lbs. The second important thing is that we sampled a small fish prior to this years stocking which means there is some natural reproduction!

The Topeka Boat Show is February 8, 9 & 10. Richard Sanders is on the ticket Friday at 6 pm and I'm on Saturday at 2 pm. Stop by and see us!

This is a generic report and includes electrofishing and fall netting data from 2012. The report will be updated if reliable information is reported.
