1. Largemouth Bass: Active in shallow water around main lake points and boat docks; try plastic worms, grubs, and topwater lures in 4-8 feet of water, especially near grass beds and rocky points.
2. Striped Bass: Good action uplake near creek mouths and islands; live shad and bucktails trolled along banks are producing solid catches.
3. Crappie: Concentrated near submerged structures in creeks and backwater areas; small jigs and minnows fished near underwater timber are effective.
4. Blue Catfish: Active near deep holes and drop-offs; cut bait and live shad on the bottom are your best bets.
5. Sunfish (Bream): Spawning activity underway in shallow, protected coves; small crickets and worms will attract bites.
Showers and thunderstorms have brought some cooler, overcast conditions that can extend bite windows throughout the day. With water temperatures hovering in the upper 60s, fish remain active in shallower zones but will also hold near structure and deeper edges. Moderate winds from the east at 8 mph can help mask your approach and improve lure action, especially for bass and crappie. Overall, anglers should find a variety of productive spots across the lake, so don’t hesitate to try different presentations and depths to dial in your catch. Good luck out there!
