Water temps are around the mid to upper 50’s.

A few crappie are being caught in 4 to 12ft of water close to the banks. they should be moving to the banks on our next warm up.


Catfish doing good fishing windy banks in shallow water using shad or stink bait. If no wind fish around timber 10 to 15ft deep. Not many people jug fishing but it should be good fishing in 12 to 18ft of water with cut bait or live perch. Also the upper chambers and Richland arms are doing while the recent rain is still flowing in.

Sand bass have been fair being caught off points and humps 20 to28ft deep. Best baits have been tail spinners or slabs. Not many birds to mark them but they will be near any birds sitting on the water.

Black bass are getting much better with the water warming up. Most being caught 2 to 6ft deep around heavy cover. Best baits have been spinner baits and rattling baits. Also a few on watermelon lizards. Some were being caught on beds before this last cool spell so with a good warm up they should be back.
