GOOD. Water slightly stained; 55 degrees; 2.74 feet below pool. White bass are gathering up in big schools on southern parts of the lake. White bass are gathering up in big schools on southern parts of the lake. Look for big bait balls in 30-38 feet of water with 3/4 ounce slabs with 2 jigs tied above working best spread at least 16 inches apart. When fish come through they are mostly suspended in the 20-30 feet range and reel up to the fish. Crappie are fair and relating to brush 18-28 feet deep moving on and off structure and starting to roam the deep flats. Minnows are working best. Catfish are excellent around the north end of the lake around timber using cut shad working best in 10-20 feet of water on prepared punch bait and cut bait. Larger blues are showing up on the deep flats. Drifting cut bait as shad, buffalo or carp working best. Report by John Varner, John Varner's Guide Service.
