Bass fishing had been a little tough, but early morning producing a few fish on the main lake points. Texas-rigged plastics, deep diving cranks, and spoons have been accounting for the most catches.
Crappie slowed this week. A handful of slabs are coming out of the narrows and Harvey's Bay, on mini-jigs tipped with crappie nibbles or nightcrawlers.
Trout are up near the dam in 50 ft. of water. Drifting and trolling leadcore 8-9 colors with Dodger/crawler combos have been the most productive techniques.
Bluegill still plentiful around any strand of bulrush using floats and mealworms. Redear and Carp action on the slow side.

The kitties are in the backs of shallow coves such as Cachuma Bay, Harveys Bay and Johnsons Bay. Fly-lined mackerel, chicken livers, and doughbaits, fished in as little as 3 ft. has been very productive. Bass fishing was steady last week, and some double digit numbers can be had. Both smallies and largies have been holding in 15 to 20 ft. of water on most lake points. Crankbaits, blades and plastics have been the top bait......

Catfish still the best bet here, and limit or near limit action can be had in back of almost any cove in the lake. Mackerel, nightcrawlers, and packaged dough baits are all working well. The bass bite has improved since last week, and both largemouth and smallmouth bass are active. Both largies and smallies are taking a variety of baits, with cranks, blades, split shot and drop shot fished to 15 to 20 feet have been the top......
