Bass are schooled up on structure and can be consistently caught on old road beds and points in 4-10 feet of water. Fish are aggressively hitting lures bumped on structure.
Best lures are plastic worms and grubs in light colors, fished on Carolina rigs.
Striped bass are being caught by trolling with bucktails, Cordell Red Fins and live shad from buoy 5 through buoy 8.
Crappie fishing is good all over the lake, around brushpiles and bridge pilings. The fish are located at the 10 foot level.
The mouths of Grassy and Eastland Creeks are showing good catches of white bass. The fish are being caught, jigging Silver Buddies just off the bottom, in 20 feet of water.
