1. Largemouth Bass: Focus on main lake points and grass beds using Carolina rigged Zoom lizards or centipedes in pumpkin pepper colors. Early morning and late evening topwater action remains productive around shallow grass.
2. Striped Bass: Concentrate efforts near Eaton Ferry Bridge and just below the dam with live shad baits, targeting suspended fish in the main river channel.
3. Bluegill: Bluegills are off the beds and responding well to live crickets, especially around shallow flats.
4. Catfish: Cut shad remains an effective bait, with catfish active near deeper channels and structure.
The weather this week with mild temperatures and light winds creates ideal conditions for consistent fishing throughout the day. Water temperatures near 71˚ support active feeding, especially in the early morning and late evening. Anglers should focus on structure and points with natural forage presentations to maximize success. Enjoy the calm conditions and tight lines at Lake Gaston this week!
