Largemouth Bass: These hard-fighting bruisers are the kings of Pomme de Terre. They love to hang out near structure, ambushing prey from the shadows of fallen trees or rocky points. In the spring, you might find them in shallow water, aggressively guarding their spawning beds. Come summer, they'll move deeper, chasing schools of shad. Fall brings them back to the shallows, where they feed heavily to fatten up for winter. Expect to catch bass in the 2-4 pound range, with the possibility of hooking into a real trophy over 6 pounds.
Crappie: These tasty panfish are a favorite among Pomme de Terre anglers, and for good reason. They're abundant, fun to catch, and delicious on the dinner table. In the spring, crappie move into shallow brush piles and fallen trees to spawn, making them easier to target. As the water warms, they'll suspend over deeper structure, often in large schools. This is where our LiveScope technology really shines, allowing us to spot these schools and present baits right in their faces. A good day can easily yield a limit of crappie, with some slabs pushing 14 inches or more.
Listen, if you're itching to get out on Pomme de Terre and fill the livewell, now's the time to lock in your trip.

Connie and I have never caught personal limits of crappie in our life. Captain Brian made that happen! He's great in conversation, and we learned a lot of new techniques. Biggest Crappies we have ever caught! He is patient and informative. We highly recommend him as a guide for Pomme de Terre! Thanks Captain Brian!

Had a Great day on Pomme with Brian today. We fished for suspended fish by casting to them. He explained his method and answered all of our questions concerning LiveScope and the Garmin fish finder. Brian is very knowledgeable, helpful and passionate about crappie fishing.

Crappie are the bread and butter of Pomme de Terre Lake fishing. These tasty panfish usually run 7-12 inches and under a pound, but bigger ones are out there. You'll find them schooling around brush piles, fallen trees, and dock pilings. Spring is prime time when they move shallow to spawn, but fall can be red hot too. Crappie are a blast on light tackle, and their mild, flaky meat makes for excellent eating. That's why they're a favorite for family fishing trips. To catch more, try slow-trolling small jigs or minnows around structure. When you find a school, it's often game on. Here's a local trick: on sunny days, target the shady side of cover. Crappie love to hide in those shadows. And don't be afraid to go small - sometimes tiny jigs catch the biggest fish.
Largemouth bass are the heavyweight champs of Pomme de Terre Lake, typically running 1-4 pounds but capable of topping 10. These ambush predators love to hang out near submerged logs, weed edges, and drop-offs. Spring and fall are prime seasons when bass move shallow to feed. Anglers prize them for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights - nothing beats the thrill of a big bass exploding on a topwater lure! They're also tasty eating when prepared right. To up your odds, try working a plastic worm slowly along the bottom near structure during summer. When the bite's tough, downsizing your bait and going finesse can make a big difference. Just remember, these fish have great eyesight, so light line and natural presentations are key for fooling the big ones.
