GOOD. Water stained; 71 degrees; 0.44 feet above pool. Fishing patterns are holding steady with more rain in the forecast. White bass are relating to structure on drop-offs around shallow flats. The shad are spawning on shallow points and flats early morning, so look for feeding white bass in as little as 2 feet of water. Throw small swim baits, tail spinners or rattle traps. You can also blind cast topwaters and catch numbers of fish. Crappie are related to brush piles 12-21 feet of water. Small numbers are showing up at bridge columns and they are moving around drop off going from structure to structure. Catfish are good on the north end of the lake on long points and around timber 15-24 feet using prepared stink baits. After the rains stage your boat in front of feeder creeks as the running water will bring the catfish in the boat. Chumming will help bring the schools into your areas.
