Large mouth bass are fair to good and these fish can still be caught with jigs fished in brush piles on points or humps in 18 to 25 feet of water. Deep running crankbaits are working well fished near drop-offs and ledges.
Walleye are slow and being caught on jigging spoons or fluorescent jigs tipped with minnows on main lake points or humps near deep water in depths of 20 to 30 feet.
Stripers are still fair on live bait with shad or trot line minnows. Main lake points near creek channels or open water humps are the best areas. Jigging spoons are working for these fish in 30 to 40 feet of water.
Bream- No Report.
Crappie are still fair and being caught near brush. Try brush in water 20 to 30 feet deep. Minnows or crappie grubs are still working best. Tennessee shad and Arkansas shad are the best colors for artificial baits.
