The weather finally cleared up enough to get out and about. The fish felt the same way you couldn’t go wrong today the fish ate everything and anything you could throw at them. I found fish around 10 ft up to 3 ft lots of buck bass up shallow and their counterpart not far behind. These fish are just a few warm days from bedding up.

That time of the year you can run a trap all day and catch fish anywhere on the lake. The whole lake is done spawning now and a few fry guarders are in the coves. I found fish hopping a TN70 in 13 feet of water as well as throwing it in the shad balls (find the birds find the fish). When they stopped biting the trap i found a few better fish with a football jig in 15ft of water. o

Windy up to 60 mph. Water Temps in the low 60s today other then yesterday in the high 50s. Best luck pulling off opposite shore pulling back making your presentation more natural. Using using darling colors helped with catches today with sunny conditions. Really choppy today only may 3 catches today on top water. That's what I was practicing today to to work with the weather conditions and seeing how they affected the catch.

Water Temps high 50s. Choppy water windy conditions. Best succes was casting passed target areas such as lay downs. Bass are still spawning a bit not all. Grassy areas and casing into grass pockets helped to. When popping using a long paused worked as well. Can also catch catfish in this lake.

Water Temps at 70 degrees. Good fishing using soft bait with tipping technique seems to be the trick. With changing up with jerk bait and chapoos

Slow and very calm current. Water temps at 68 degrees, with winds up to 30 mph. Jerk baits and vibrating jigs and swim baits work. With slower retrieves.

The Bass are mostly off of beds and are starting to move to deeper water. The fish i found were in anywhere between 7-10 feet of water and were mostly targeting crawfish and a few chasing bluegills shallow. I caught most of my fish flipping trees in 8 feet of water and fishing the current off of the hot water outlet. I also found some fish cruising around grass patches with a rattle trap.
