GOOD. Water stained; 62 degrees; 0.14 feet below pool. Striper are fair with live bait the most consistent way to put fish in the boat. But it still has its slow days. Downriggers are not catching anything and probably will not be in play until next summer. Your best bet is to just put baits in the water and slowly move around with the trolling motor until you find them. Once you find them, try to stay with them but that will be difficult because they are moving fast and not staying still. Keep in mind that we are approaching deadstick season here pretty soon. Sand bass are still slow to fair in 20-30 feet of water with live shad or small slabs and jigs or rattle traps. White and silver are good colors, but white seems to be preferred. Catfish are still fair to good up the river near Rock Creek Camp. Cut shad is producing good numbers of fish in 5-20 feet of water fished on or near the bottom. Water clarity is steady at 1-8 feet of visibility and slightly stained. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service. Bass are moving up with the lake level rising. Target points and drop-offs with Carolina rigs, chatterbaits, and jigs. Report by JK Outdoors Bass Fishing Guide.
