Bass fishing has been up and down, but early mornings have produced a little bit of a surface bite on spooks and poppers. The evening has been good at times, as shad have moved onto main lake points. Spoons drop shots, slow rolling spinnerbait have been putting fish in the boat.
Trout anglers are having a tough time, with the rainbows retreating to 50 ft. Needlefish down rigged or with 8 to 9 colors of leadcore are picking up a handful of hold over 'bows.

Spoons, spinnerbait and most other shad imitations are working. Catfish action has been slowed but can still be found in shallow coves and creek channels. Mackerel, Nightcrawlers, and packaged dough baits are still the best bait for the kitties. Crappie fishing has also tapered some, but drifting......

Limit or near limit action on Catfish can be had in the backs of most shallow coves with creek channels, using mackerel, chicken livers, and packaged dough baits. 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 ......
