Best locales have been the docks in the White Oak area. Some nice bluegill have been coming in on red Worms, the best areas have been shallow cobble stone points. Blue cats to 14 lbs. also showing on cut mackerel around rocky outcroppings.

Water temps dipped up to 8 degrees in some areas, slowing the hot reaction bite for bass down to a crawl. That didn't matter for those who fished 'crawlers, or better yet live shad.

Panfish still showing around fishing docks, and rock piles all over the lake....... Read More
