Catfishing is good when using cut bait near deeper water. Drop-offs with timber near the main river channel are good places to catch them.

Bass were in the backs of creeks getting ready to move up and spawn. Water temps were anywhere from 58-62 degrees in the creeks on the north end. There was a golden algae bloom on the south end of the lake mostly from rough creek and south that had a fish kill going on. Caught most bass on a shaky head trick worm or tx rigged rage bug. Really tough conditions but caught a lot of males

Fish were in pre-spawn pushing shallow. Caught three in practice. Biggest came off a small dock upriver on a squarebill and two under-sized off rip-rap on a bridge. During the tournament I caught one 3.49 pounder early on a deeper diving crankbait on the same rip-rap and then two more undersized, one off the other side of the same bridge off concrete and the other off a different bridge with a mix of grass and rip-rap. Lots of white bass off the rip-rap as well throughout the day.
