Bass fishing was on a day-to-day basis this past week. Even on slow days limits are possible, especially if reaction baits or bottom bumping techniques are used. Shad can still be spotted on or near the surface at the east end of the lake. The shad have been providing some top water action early in the mornings.

Catfish action has tapered off even more than last week. A few of the larger grade kitties did come out of Sweetwater on cut mackerel.

There was some decent Crappie action this past week. As some slabs to 2 lbs. were caught at the Marina. Small tubes and mini jigs tipped with mealworms were the best bet for the panfish.

Trout fishing ground to a virtual halt with only a few fish coming out of the dam area on drifted crawlers. Bow fishing for Carp was good in the early morning hours, in the mouth of Clarks' and the marker buoys on the north west end of the dam.
