Report compiled by John Richeson, guide, Cranfield Junction 870 492 5141

Bass: hanging around the 30 foot range during the day. Best baits are Jigs with trialers. 3/4ozPBJ jgs and Cin purple Trailers have been great recently. Yamamoto's new Flappin' Hog trailers have also been productive. Best ones have been green pumpkin...

Stripers: doing nicely now. Some top water action early am and late pm. Using spooks, Sammy's and any other top water baits...After the top water is off, move to the Binks Spoon. Use 1oz Binks spoons in White, Silver, and his new one in Lite green back and white body. You'll find the stripers from Cranfield all the way to the dam...

Walleye: slowed down recently. THEY ARE OUT THERE. We're marking them easily in 30 to 50 ft of water. They are just being picky now. The Trollers have done ok with Reef Runners, Walley Divers, Rapala Taildancers and Nite Crawlers...But still it is a little tough now. It will be any day now that they turn on and go crazy...

Whites and Hybrids: Man these dudes are going crazy on the lake. You'll catch them on andoff all day long and into the night. Find them and you'll have a ball. They are moving around the lake so don't stay in 1 spot all day. Good spots have been down in brush creek arms, float creek, panther creek, up river in MO liner creek...Rogues, Top waters, soft
Plastics...
