Lake Conditions – The lake is lightly stained up the rivers and clear elsewhere

Lake Water Temperature – 88 degrees

Largemouth Bass – GOOD/FAIR – A white buzzbait and Trick worms might get you a bite early in the day around rip-rap and seawalls. As the water heats up many of the fish have moved to deeper water around ledges and humps where the Carolina rig and deep diving crankbaits are enticing strikes. The presence of current is extremely important now.

Crappie – GOOD –The crappie bite continues to be good even in the deeper brushpiles and underwater trees. Best bet is to locate the deep brushpiles and trees (10-20 feet) and drop a minnow or jig for best action.

Hybrid/Striped/White Bass – FAIR – The fish have formed large schools around ledges and other underwater flats and humps anywhere from the pipeline to the dam. They are feeding on shad when current is present so live bait would be your best choice. The fish are moving around looking for cooler water and that might send many of the fish up the rivers. Some topwater action has been reported when Georgia Power is generating.

Catfish – GOOD – The catfish have moved to the main lake and larger creeks and some really big catfish are being caught. Smaller catfish can be caught with worms and other catfish bait but the larger catfish will bite best on live bait, cut bait or bream heads.
