Largemouth bass, redear sunfish, bluegill and crappie are the most common sportfish species. The lake is noted primarily for its redear sunfish (shellcracker) fishery. Because of the low fertility, production of forage species such as threadfin and gizzard shad is low. Since there is not a lot of forage available, largemouth bass and white crappie generally have slow growth rates and below average condition.

Largemouth bass can be taken around the grassbeds and cypress trees that are found in the numerous sloughs and coves off the main lake. The most popular and effective baits among anglers are crankbaits and plastic worms.
Redear sunfish (shellcracker) can be taken with live bait, primarily wigglers, on sandy beaches, points, and flats. Steep walls along the old river channel can be the most productive for crappie, which are usually taken on live minnows. (Anglers are not allowed to intentionally release bait into the Gantt Lake.)
