Bass-The water has remained stable all week and fishing has been great. The Carolina rig bite continues to produce with Zoom Brushhogs and lizards. The dock bite is still producing limits and some kicker fish. Eakins jigs, 10" Power worms, and Berkley Gulp minnow worms are producing the best. The bite is good in the upper river on the logs, Balsa B's and Hart bleeding series spinnerbaits are the top choices of anglers this week. The Buzzbait bite has been outstanding this week, with the Hart Ticker buzz being your best choice.
Crappie-Crappie are off and on this week with the best catches coming in the morning. Grandpas jigs in chartreuse or pink patterns are the hot ticket. Jigs and minnows both are being teamed with The Berkley Crappie Nibbles in chartreuse. Brush piles in the 8 to 12 ft. ranges are producing the best. The bridge piers are producing well.
Catfish-Bank fishing is really good this week using livers, shad, and Danny Kings punchbait. The drift fisherman are putting some quality fish in the boat this week drifting with shad in the 8 to 12 ft. water. Juggers and trotliners are still making good catches on numbers of cats.
White bass- White bass are better this week around Sailboat Bridge and Patricia Island. Small crankbaits are producing around the rock piles and main lake points. The deep fish are scattered, and Jigging spoons are still your best choice for the deep whites.
