Stripers and still popping up around the lake sporadically and very inconsistently. They have boils almost everywhere but don't hangout for more than a day or so. Sardines are still bringing in a few stripers from around 69 to 100 ft. Top water baits are working great for stripers and Largemouth. The stripers have been boiling on the west walls of the ski arm and around the west ramp in the evening.

The largies and still biting plastics and nightcrawlers in the backs of the coves and off the points. Most of the coves in the fish arm have been producing largies all day long but the mid-morning and evening bite have been the best.

Catfish are biting in a few of the coves in the ski arm and they are biting better during the afternoon on mackerel. The lagoon fishing is in a little bit of a slump but there are a still plenty of really good fishing reports coming out from the night time anglers.

Stripers are still very inconsistent on what they are biting and where. Every day a couple of anglers will...... Read More

Lots of decent sized largies are being caught on spooks and poppers as well as other baits. The mid-morning bite around 7:30 till 11:00 AM has been phenomenal. Then the bite picks back up in the evening around 4:30 thru dusk. Most of the coves still have tons of largies cruising around pretty shallow but you can find them chasing shad a little deeper around 25 feet. The stripers have been coming up here and there but still...... Read More
