The weather this week has been beautiful with average temperatures in the mid 80’s. The water is sitting at a warm 79 degrees and we've had little to no wind all throughout the day, which makes for great fishing weather. The hot bite this week has been striped bass.
CATFISH
Catfish have been on the prowl lately with many anglers coming back with cats on the stringer. Best place to fish for them would be the lower or upper narrows, look for fallen trees and weedbeds (the more cover the better.) Most anglers are catching them on anchovies but you can also get them on either mackerel or nightcrawlers.
TROUT
Trout fishing is very slow because of the warm water. To target Trout you need to be in deeper water, and your best bet is by the Dam. They are in twenty to thirty feet of water. Power Bait or Night Crawlers work well.
BASS
Black Bass are slowing down a little with few anglers this week reporting any catches. If you do decide to target the large or small mouths, we recommend looking for weedbeds and throwing a frog, work it as slow as you possibly can. We also recommend using either senkos or roboworms and work them through tule patches and weedbeds.
STRIPED BASS
The best time to come out and catch striper would be early morning and late evenings. The striper are boiling early morning, so get an early start and bring some topwater lures. Once the boils die down you can still catch them on bait, either anchovies, chicken liver or sardines.
