Generally slow fishing on a hot day. Caught 7 Walleye on Jig and crawler combo. No schools at all. Each fish was on a different spot requiring me to move around. Fish glued to the bottom tough to see even with FFS. Tried reaction baits periodically but Jig & crawler ended up the success pattern on this day. One bonus Smallmouth and 1-14" bonus crappie

I launched off the warm water ramp in a 12’ jon boat at 10:30am. I fished most around that area. I immediately caught a 19” wiper and two small bass. Maybe 12”. I moved out into the arm which the discharge flows into and caught more bass off of some of the smaller secondary points, switching between shallow and medium diving crankbaits. The bite seemed to slow so I switched to a senko. I caught more all throughout the area and a little ways into the discharge. I had a little action on a texas rigged creature bait as well. My biggest fish was still only about 15”. These fish were on timber, rock, and gravel, and anywhere from the bank to 10’ of water. If shad were there, so were the fish. I did move out to the main lake and caught two off of a point. Moving deeper, I found large schools of shad. I wish I had a little more time to run a couple points and throw some deep presentations. Maybe I would have found some bigger fish.

Casted from the bank to a place where there is submerged vegetation. Steady retrieve. Also works doing the Alabama Shake retrieve. Pic looks a little crazy due to a nice sized bass I just caught that wrecked the trailer!

We were finding our fish on shallower and mid depth rocky points. The points could be secondary or main lake but had to have deep water close by. The fish seem to be setting up shallower than in years past in that 8 to 15 ft. We caught a load of fish just throwing the chatterbait if they were suspended and the worm if they were in the bottom. Bite seems to hold good around most of the lake some points have them and some don’t. Points with wind were a touch better but wasn’t much of a breeze last night. Follow me on Tik Tok instagram and Facebook to stay up to date on all my fishing shenanigans.

Last Joe Bass tournament of the regular season. Rain set in early and stayed all day. Several shorts were caught (and missed) on a buzzbait early. Followed up by several bites on the ever popular 3xd. Water has been low and recent rainfall didn't seem to affect anything.

Caught four of them on the same bait in the picture. All about the same size. At the end of the first jetty to your left as you walk up to the lake.
