Location: Mid lake, focusing on big rock points leading into rocky pockets. Technique and Lures: Starting early with a swim bait kept high in the water column, almost resembling top water action. Swim bait bite tends to taper off between 9 and 10 AM. Fishing steep walls with a spinner bait, often getting hits on the fall against the wall. Using crank-baits to target fish chasing bait fish in rocky areas, ensuring the bait dives into the rocks. Look for signs of fish activity like bait fish jumping out of the water upon casting. Keep a shaky head tied on for versatility and to adapt to changing conditions. General Notes: Be cautious and prioritize safety during your fishing trips. Stay alert and ready to adjust your approach based on the changing bite and conditions. Tight lines and good luck out there!

Big spots have moved to run with the strippers in water between 40-50 feet deep, suspended at about 30 feet. Definitely a hard bite to find but where you can find a school of striped the spots are not far behind.

Focus on river channels that have a good amount of chunk rock. You can keep about 25’-30’ off the bank or you can work the bank parallel. Key to working the small swimbait is making sure that it ticks the rocks on the bottom. Few other baits that you can use to catch them right now is a jig, shaky head as well as a Lip Thrashin Lures “lil nasty” tailspin. The tailspin can be worked around dock slips or deeper water areas where the bait is roaming. This has been a great bait for this time of year at multiple lakes. Water clarity has been around 3’-4’ in the main lake area and with recent rain the creeks have been a little bit stained.
