Largemouth bass are hitting topwater lures in the mornings and late evenings. During the middle of the day bass can be caught on crankbaits, jigs, and finesse lures like drop shots. Look to find bass along submerged logs and deeper weed line edges. Most of the largemouth bass being caught are ½ pound to 2 pounds with an occasional bigger fish.

Anglers are catching yellow perch along the edge of the weed lines. Yellow perch can be caught using a worm fished near the bottom or using a small jig/jigging spoon tipped with a worm fished near the bottom.
