Bass fishing good in most areas of the lake. Swimbaits, rip baits, and jigs all produced fish to 6lbs. last week. Crappie action still good early and late on mini jig/ nibble combos under a bobber. Best locations have been steeper walls with rock, such as Mackey point, and portions of the chute. Catfish have been on the chew, taking cut mackerel in shallow cuts, and coves. Local angler Travis gray had several blue cats to 12lbs. There were a couple bluegill taken, as well as some red ear but overall fishing for them has been slow.

The catfish were left alone last week, as most people were after bass, and crappie. It...... Read More
