1. Largemouth Bass: Early morning and late evening topwater action remains productive around main lake points and boat docks. During daylight hours, target 10-15 feet depths using crankbaits and Carolina-rigged plastic worms near submerged brush and stumps.
2. Striped Bass: Schools are holding in deeper water, 50-60 feet down near the dam and main river channel. Nighttime feeding patterns continue, so consider night fishing with live bait or deep diving crankbaits.
3. Crappie: Good numbers are being caught around bridge pilings and submerged brush with small minnows, especially in 10-15 feet of water.
4. Catfish: Active around boat docks and deeper channel holes, taking cut bait and prepared stink baits.
5. White Perch: Small jigs and live minnows fished near points and docks in 15 feet of water are producing steady bites.
The stable water level and warming water temperatures are encouraging consistent fish activity despite the chance of rain showers. Light winds and cooler air temps make for comfortable fishing conditions throughout the day. Focus on main lake points and structure edges where baitfish congregate to maximize your catch. Stay patient and vary your presentations from topwater lures at dawn and dusk to plastics and crankbaits midday for the best results. Good luck out there!
