Chad Burton and Chris Borden
The lake held at 93 percent of capacity, and fishing has been decent. Water temperatures fluctuated between 73 and 77 degrees through the day, and the algae bloom is dying off. Weed beds are currently two feet below the surface providing excellent cover for shad and the fish chasing them. Fishing the outside weed lines with squarebills, jerkbaits, and small swimbaits has produced some of the better quality bass. Texas rigs and weedless creature baits have also been a good way to fool bass holding in the weed beds. Anglers fishing the shorelines reported catching countless juvenile bass. Striper fell for cut baits, nightcrawlers, and lugworms in the usual spots around the lake. They also chased topwater lures until about 8am. Catfishing has been excellent for anglers soaking dip bait and chicken liver.
