GREAT. Water stained; 52 degrees; 0.08 feet below pool. After main lake surface temperatures dropped from 64 degrees down to 50 degrees this week the fish are on the move. Catfishing is good in baited areas from 10-50 feet on Catfish Bubblegum, liver, worms, and punch bait. Drifting creek channels and wind blown ledges with natural baits has been producing some trophy class fish as well as nice eaters. Bass have been fair and with the warm up coming they should move back up on the beds. Crappie have been pretty scattered due to the temperature swings. Report by Bradley Doyle, Bradley Guide Service. Crappie are being caught in 13-22 feet on or near standing timber and other structures. Minnows and hair jigs are out producing other plastics. Many of the hits are light. Hybrids are still being caught deadsticking in 33-39 feet of water, near river channels and flats. This might be the last week for deadsticking After the water temperature increases past 58 degrees switch from deadsticking to live bait or jigging. Always wear your life jacket!
