Cut baits such as anchovies or sardines, lugworms and mackerel with a heavy sinker and a longer leader to endure the windy conditions and water flow in the lake. Steeper ledges and walls have been great areas to target along with coves around the lake for both catfish and stripers. Anglers have also been having luck trolling the lake using heavy kastmasters and deeper diving jerkbaits or paddle tail baits with a lead head or bullet weight to get down a bit more.

Weedless setups have been the most effective with the remaining grass during this time of the year.
