BASS
Early morning boils. Top water action has been fair to good. The majority of fish reported were caught on plastic worms, scroungers, and flukes. Dropshotting or texas rigging has been most productive. Colored plastic worms such as, morning dawn, margarita mutilator, and oxblood have been working the best. Reports of bigger fish are being caught in 25-40 ft of water. Some shad are along the south shore as well as some areas on the north side of the lake.

STRIPER
Many fishermen have still been getting their limits. Cut bait such as, sardines, anchovies, or mackerel, have been most productive. Some of the stripers reported this week caught trolling white flies or spoons on leadcore, 4-6 colors out.

CATFISH
Few catfish reported this week. Anchovies, shrimp, chicken liver, and night crawlers have all been working well. Brandon, Nick, and Katy Crow (in picture above) caught 23lbs of catfish on chicken liver.

PANFISH
Not as many limits were reported this week. The bluegill and redear that were reported were all caught on mealworms, crickets, or night crawlers. Few crappie reported this week.

TROUT
No trout reports as of lately.
