Bass Fishing

Fishing is great right now. The water has came back up and the fish are shallow again. A 3/8oz spinner bait and a Zoom Super speed craw has been working great. Good area's has been upriver past the pumping stations and also at the mouth of Yellow Jacket by the sunk timber. Top water is still working very well in the afternoons. I like to use a Rebel Pop-R in the bone color. Down lake fishing is good around the points and shoals. Keep a 1/8oz Shakey head rigged with a finesse worm and a Excalibur crank bait in the shad color tied on because the clearer water has been producing some big Spotted Bass.

Hybrids/Stripers

Fishing has been good. Shad fishing is picking up around the lake. This week looking for the schooling fish has been the best choice. If the fish blow up on the surface throw a Zara Spook until the stop coming up and then switch to a jigging spoon and follow them with your depth finder. Good areas have been around the Yellow Jacket bridge down to the 109 Bridge.

Crappie

Fishing is picking up around the docks and bridge columns around the lake. Minnows has been the best method but Jiffy jigs have been working just as good in the evening. Wedhakee and Stroud creek has been holding some good fish but they have been a little deep the most of the other creeks.
