Large mouth bass are still excellent and these fish can still be caught with floating worms, yum dingers and Carolina rigs. Try moss flats, standing timber and points for best results. Flukes, top water spooks and boy howdies are still effective on wind blown points and pockets. Schooling fish are being caught with white roostertails and chrome rattle-traps.

Walleye are excellent with reports of these fish being caught on or near main lake points. White or chrome jerk baits and rattle traps have been the most effective in water depths of 4 – 10 feet.

Stripers are still excellent on live bait, buck-tail jigs or top water C-10 redfins. Top water action is still great right now. These fish are still located around main lake points and rock bluffs near or in the river channels on all sections of the lake.

Bream are still very good and are being caught around structure with small jigs, crickets or worms. These fish should start to spawn with the next full moon.

Crappie are still very good and being caught over brush piles and moss flats using feather jigs, 2” grubs and minnows. Try pockets and large moss flats 8 - 15 feet deep. The best colors are still white, silver and tennesee shad.

Catfish are very good and being caught on cut bait, night-crawlers and live bait. Try pockets and moss flats 10 – 15 feet deep.
