Fish Report:
Bluegill: Still going strong expecially across from the marina or East Bay. It is best to fish for the Bluegill at a depth of 10'. The most effective bait has been nightcrawlers, mealworms, red worms and crickets. Use small amounts of bait that just cover a #6 or # 10 hook. Light lines with only small or clear bobbers work best at this lake. It is after spawning time for the Bluegill right now so you can work a mini jig slowly through an empty nest.
Catfish: The Catfish bite is very hot right now, this is their spawning time. Fish any cove at 5' to 10' with cut baits. Catfish are an excellent catch right now with the warmer weather & recent stocking of Cats. They seems to be hanging out around Ramp 2 or in the coves. The Kitties are hitting Chicken Liver, nightcrawlers and redworms.
Largemouth Bass: Hot temperatures and a lot of vegetation is affecting the fishing. Best bite is early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Work any cover or shadows slowly with long casts not to spook them. Your best bet is small spinners, crankbaits, shallow squarebilled crank baits, flukes and swimbaits. Try plastic creature baits, crawdads, top plastic frog action fun. Later on go back and throw your favorite 10" roboworm.
Stripers: Have had no great boils at this time. This species crave cooler water and with all small bait fish in the water will be deep. Fish the Inlet or the middle of the lake. Chicken liver, fresh sardines and anchovies at the 10' to 20' level with an umbrella rig or an Alabama rig will produce with a lot of work. 2 to 3 lb. fish is the average at this time.

Trout: The trout bite has been virtually non-existent.
