The fishing has once again started to get good. the fish really wanted moving today from swimming a jig to a bigger swimbait to find those bigger bites. Expecting larger fish to come shallow with warmer water.

With water temps down the fish are a slow to move up. They are still in the same areas but have to work extra hard to get them to bite. The same ole same ole chatterbait, Trap and Dropshot are the keys.

Water Temps in the low 50s. Throwing away from shore line works great had most success letting the crank dive through the rocks drawing out my catches. Had a little success flipping in the brush. The water is fairly clear.

The Large Females are moving shallow and moving into the shallow trees as-well as in isolated gras patches in 6 feet of water. Big largemouth will start moving into the shallows within the week. The fish are targeting more bluegill and crayfish this time of year and darker colors like green pumpkin are producing the best. My key bait today was a Z-man jackhammer reeling over shallow flats or near wood.

The Bass are mostly off of beds and are starting to move to deeper water. The fish i found were in anywhere between 7-10 feet of water and were mostly targeting crawfish and a few chasing bluegills shallow. I caught most of my fish flipping trees in 8 feet of water and fishing the current off of the hot water outlet. I also found some fish cruising around grass patches with a rattle trap.

That time of the year you can run a trap all day and catch fish anywhere on the lake. The whole lake is done spawning now and a few fry guarders are in the coves. I found fish hopping a TN70 in 13 feet of water as well as throwing it in the shad balls (find the birds find the fish). When they stopped biting the trap i found a few better fish with a football jig in 15ft of water. o
