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

Lake Water Temperature – 77-80 degrees – The cooler weather has begun to drop water temperatures and the fish are reacting.

Largemouth Bass –GOOD – With the cooler weather more fish have moved to shallow water. A Shad Rap has been good around docks in 6-10 feet of water. Buzzbaits. Rat-L-Traps and a small square bill crankbait will also take fish from shallow water around rip-rap, docks and seawalls especially early in the day. A good number of fish have moved into the coves and are feeding on shad. Make sure to check the coves from the beginning all the way to the back.

Crappie – GOOD –The crappie bite continues to be good 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. The crappie will remain in the trees for another couple weeks before they begin to move out of the trees with the coming cooler water temperatures. That is when trolling will come back into play.

Hybrid/Striped/White Bass – FAIR/POOR – The fish are still on deep humps and only feeding when current is present.

Catfish – GOOD – The catfish have also taken notice of the cooler water temperatures and have begun to move out of the deeper water and into the larger coves. 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.
