BASS Angling has been good thru early morning with a top water bite going on using different crankbaits, chatterbaits, ripbaits. Jigs and plastic baits also producing some good action as the morning sun warms up the surface temps.

CRAPPIE

Nice slabs have been reported in different areas of the lake using live minnows, Crappie jigs and Gulp Crappie Nibbles.

CATFISH

Soaking cutbaits, chicken livers, and Berkley Catfish bait have been successful. Fish the narrow muddy coves near the shoreline. Take advantage of driftwood jambs in coves.
