GREAT. Water stained; 89.6 degrees; 0.22 feet below pool. Finding a thermocline sitting at 32.5 feet. Catfish action has slowed recently, especially in baited areas. Still, some good catches come off ledges near structure and across flats. Drifting may be most effective. Largemouth bass are biting consistently around offshore structure and deeper docks on crankbaits, jigs, and soft plastics. Bream are excellent just about everywhere from 1-20 feet deep on docks, rocks, brush, and structure using worms and crickets. Crappie are fair to poor, holding tight to brush piles, standing timber, and submerged structure in 15-25 feet using slower presentations with minnows or jigs. Report by Bradley Doyle, Bradley’s Guide Service. Hybrid stripers are schooling well and providing solid action, though heavy boat traffic from late morning through afternoon can make them elusive. Being productive using slabs, spoons, or live shad on flats and drop-offs in 14-30 feet. Check the tooth patch to see if it’s a white bass or hybrid on the Outdoor Annual app. Always wear your life jacket and stay hydrated. Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy.
