Finding Bream Beds, Goggle-Eye, and Deep-Water Crappie
Thursday, 4 June, 2026
This week’s Mobile-Tensaw Delta Fishing Report covers two very different but timely patterns: hot-weather panfish in the Delta and deep-water crappie on Big Creek Lake. Shannon Wood kicks things off with a report on the bluegill and goggle-eye bite as the Delta settles out from heavy rain and high water. He talks through how water level, bank height, Mayfly hatches, and full-moon timing may affect the bream bite, plus why he’s been finding goggle-eye tight to the bank on black Beetle Spins. Shannon also previews the upcoming panfish tournament out of Cliff’s Landing and explains why local bait shops like Boutwell’s Bait & Tackle and Steel Creek Bait & Tackle matter so much to the fishing community. Then Matt Frazier joins the show with a Big Creek Lake report, breaking down how he’s been catching crappie and spotted bass from a kayak since the lake partially reopened. Matt explains how he fishes deep structure in 30 to 40 feet of clear water, how he pours his own soft plastics, why Big Creek is still a strong option when the rivers are muddy, and what anglers need to know about the current access situation, rental boats, kayak use, bank fishing, and the ongoing push to reopen more of the lake.SPONSORSDixie Building SupplyEastern Metal SupplyBlack BuffaloSlipSki
