Fishing Report

Jul 31, 2024
GOOD. Water slightly stained; 85 degrees; 0.20 feet above pool. The thermocline is in 31 feet of water. Bass are good on big worms and creature baits around structure and under docks when the sun is out. Report by Brad Doyle with Bradley’s Guide Service. Catfish spawn is over and the fishing is good but there are a lot of tiny fish out there. Baited holes and catfish bubblegum have been working great. Report by Brad Doyle with Bradley’s Guide Service. Hybrids and whites are schooling in 18-26 feet of water biting live shad and live large minnows, or trolling with a deep diver with a pet spoon as a trailer. Some are scattered but also finding schools. Some anglers are jigging spoons too aggressively, get more hits with a calmer jigging motion, white or chartreuse slabs from MT Pockets have been working well. Crappie are in or around structure and timber in 12-21 feet using minnows, jigs, and or hair jigs, the bite has been very light, and have shut off as quickly as you get one in the boat, but some are getting a great catch. If you can get a few, hit the next spot. Always wear your life jacket & stay hydrated in this heat. Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy.
