With hot days reaching into the 100’s the morning bite is extremely important for catching fish shallow and on top water. The low water levels have made the fish set up on ledges in 20-35 ft and on obvious isolated structure and long points. There are lots of fish to catch mostly having to weed through the white bass schools to reach the larger fish towards the bottom. They are eating high and low in the columns.

Chasing white bass boils along the shore. Shallow spinners and surface crank baits produced amazing results.
