The lake has turned over and the temperature is starting to drop. The Striped Bass are biting on anchovies and larger Panther Martins and spinner baits. Catfish are on fire right now. They are hitting on anchovies, mackerel, chicken liver & shrimp and any other stinky bait you throw out there. Largemouth bass are hitting jigs with trailers and spinner bait. Crappie have not been hitting and we are waiting for the trout bite to start.
