Largemouth bass are catchable by working spoons and spinnerbaits in 20-25 feet of water on dropoffs, in the lower end. The sun in the afternoon is bringing them up on rocky points to feed. Jig ‘n trailer and fat plastic grubs are the ticket.
Crappie are slow to hit, but can be located around brushpiles in 20 feet of water.
Best method for catching the crappie is using a small jig and six pound line. Still fish the jig over the brushpiles.
Stripers are holding in 30-35 feet of water with one of the better areas being Nutbush Creek.
