Proline Fishing Tips

If it's largemouth bass you're after, you will have good luck dabbling in the bulrushes. This is where the angler uses a long stout fishing rod to gently lower into the bulrushes. The angler gently lifts and drops the bait and few inches.  Minnows and jigs will get you crappie around the bridges and dock pilings. Catfish is pretty much everywhere in Lake Nasworthy, you can use live or prepared baits. The best sunfish are caught with small baits in the alligator weeks along the rip rap. You'll also find white bass throughout the reservoir using live or prepared baits.
