1. Largemouth Bass: Bass are holding near main lake points and boat docks, favoring Carolina-rigged plastic worms and lizards in pumpkin pepper colors. Early morning topwater action is productive along grass beds.
2. Striped Bass: Stripers are active around Eaton Ferry Bridge and just below the dam, with live shad presentations working best in the main river channel.
3. Bluegill: Bluegills are off the beds, readily taking live crickets near shallow flats and submerged structure.
4. Catfish: Catfish are biting well on cut bait and live shad, especially near deeper creek channels and below the dam.
5. Crappie: Crappie fishing is improving around brush piles and boat docks, with small jigs and minnows producing steady catches.
With water temperatures holding steady in the mid-70s and light winds, fishing conditions are excellent this week despite isolated showers. Early mornings and overcast periods provide prime windows for topwater action, while midday anglers will find success targeting deeper structure. Stay alert for quick weather changes and enjoy the productive late June bite at Lake Gaston. Tight lines!
