Water Level Details
FAIR. Water slightly stained; 60 degrees; 6.60 feet below pool. Bass are moving deeper with deep diving crankbaits coming into play, and as the water temperature dips into the 50s expect the rattletrap bite to pick up. Some bass continue to be shallow chasing shad fattening up for winter. Wacky worms along the edge of grass and pads will continue to catch fish. Crappie are in the creeks. Catfish are chasing shad balls up the creeks. White bass are schooling with catches on slabs. The lake level is low so navigate with caution watching for stumps and sand bars.
