Mozingo Lake

It seems like the “dog days of summer” really must be settling in as most gamefish in Mozingo have definitely settled into their summer-time patterns.

Water temperatures are still in the high 70s to low 80s across the lake with water levels being near normal for this point in the season. Water clarity is also listed as “clear” by local standards.

The most cooperative species at this point in time are channel cats (mostly on crawlers and minnows) and crappies around deeper water brush. Bluegills, walleye and bass are still cooperating though not as well as catfish and crappies.

Nearby Bilby Ranch Lake is sporting slightly higher water temperatures and clear water clarity.  The lake’s quality largemouth population is active on topwaters during the low-light periods and catfish can be had with will placed cut-bait or chicken livers … Bluegills, walleye and crappies can also be taken though not as readily as bass and channel cats …
