Channel catfishing still is top for good fishing. The channel catfish are moving to the rocks and are hitting under bobbers very early and late. During the day when they move from the banks they are being caught bottom bouncing in the deeper water. The lake level dropped a few inches and moved some of the fish farther out. They will move to the banks quickly to spawn over the next few days.

Bluegill is very good. Crickets and redworms under bobbers are catching well. Mepps Spin Flies have also been excellent for casting to the fish. Sauger and whitebass are slow.

Largemouth has been good now for several weeks. The largemouth are being taken is shallow water near the brush. Shallow running crankbaits as well as plastic jerkbaits. Some topwater action as been reported. Over all fishing has been good and will get better this next week with the full moon.

TIP: If you keep fishing the same way you will get the same results
