Published 8:00 am Thursday, June 11, 2015
Lake Conditions – The lake is clear to lightly stained.
Lake Water Temperature – 81-83 degrees.
Largemouth Bass – FAIR/GOOD – The fish are migrating back to the main lake where the fish are locating around points, ledges, humps and deep docks as the summer season is about to officially arrive. Fish can be found on the points now where crankbaits and Carolina rigged plastics will get you a strike. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, jigs (around brushpiles), buzzbaits and Trick worms are good around deep docks, wood and any rocks in the main lake. The rip-rap at the bridges is good with a crankbait when current is present.
Crappie – GOOD –The crappie have migrated back to brushpiles and underwater timber in deeper water. Trolling jigs over timber and fishing jigs/ minnows over and in the timber will catch fish now.
Striped Bass/White Bass/Hybrid Bass – Good – The fish have moved to the humps and points in the main lake. Using live bait and trolling umbrella rigs will produce fish in those locations.
Catfish – GOOD – The catfish have moved to main lake/creek ledges and channels and those will be good locations throughout the summer months. Live bait (shad/bream) and cut bait (shad/bream) will produce good fish.
