Stripers are boiling out of Cottonwood Cove and near Katherine Landing. Topwater baits are producing catches up to seven pounds from sunrise to about noon. With the water levels dropping, black bass are chasing gizzard shad and bluegill into the shallows. Anglers are reporting catches using a variety of shad lures and soft plastics. Presentation is key. From the Willow Beach fishing pier anglers are enjoying catfish catches up to five pounds. Try fishing worms and anchovies near vegetation in the evening.
