Chad Burton and Chris Borden
The lake rose to 23 percent of capacity, and fishing has been fair. Recent storms kept many anglers off the water, and we received few reports as a result. Last week spotted bass went for finesse baits in 10 to 40 feet of water with drop shot and jigs getting some takers. On warmer days Senkos produced up shallow as did crankbaits and white spinnerbaits. Catfish anglers used dip bait, chicken liver, and garlic scented nightcrawlers, and crappie took small live minnows and minijigs.
