Not much changed here from last week, still some bass coming in on rip baits, and jigs fished around rocky areas of the lake. A few incidental crappie were caught, but no one has been targeting them as of late. No reports came in about the catfish bite, but it was last known that the swimming pool cove area was holding some fish, as well as White Oak. Since last Tuesday, the lake level has been very slowly coming up, as water is no longer being released from the dam.
