GOOD. Water stained; 45 degrees; 1.19 feet below pool. White bass are in big schools on the southern and middle part of the lake. Look for big bait balls in 35-39 feet of water using 3/4 ounce slabs with 2 jigs tied above spread at least 16 inches apart. Hybrids are near the bottom with 1 ounce jig heads with 4 inch flukes. Drifting has been best with drift socks. When fish come through they are mostly suspended about 5-10 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 working best. Catfish are good drifting cut bait on the deep flats. Blue catfish up to 25-30 pounds are possible on long drifts. Report by John Varner, John Varner's Guide Service.
