Water Level Details
GOOD. Water stained; 70 degrees; 6.45 feet below pool. The lake continues to be turbid, so navigate with caution to avoid sandbars and stumps. Bass are spawning in the grass lines in 4-15 feet of water biting crankbaits. Crappie bite is good in the shallows and slow on the brush piles. Some crappie are spawning near cypress trees, wade anglers can target these. White bass are schooling on main lake points with jigs, minnows, crankbaits and jigging spoons. Catfish are in the creeks spawning in 4-8 feet of water, and slowing back to the main lake. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service. Shad spawn is in full swing. Bass are good keying on hard clay points, grass edges and flooded timber with swim jigs, chatterbaits, topwater spooks or pop-r’s. Offshore bite is 10-20 feet on hard spots and flats, points and creek channel swings using crankbaits, Carolina rigs, shaky heads and dropshots. Crappie have finished spawning in 12-20 feet of water on brush piles and standing timber. Report by Captain Hank Harrison, Double H Precision Fishing.
