The fish were suspended beneath the floating docks in 20 to 24 feet of water. The lake looked a little off- color from normal. With partial clouds and a light wind. I caught 15 with the best 5 around 12 LBs. the retrieve was a slow steady speed about 6-8inches below the surface.

7/21/2021, water temp was low 80's. Crappie were slow using soft jigs with crappie candy. White bass were hitting heavy along bluffs where you find schools of shad. Did catch a nice 20" big mouth. Casting towards shore using a two piece silver rattle trap lure. Great day on the lake, hot very little breeze.

The fish are in a post spawn pattern and suspended off of points or around the bridge pilings in Rock Creek. The best technique I found was just casting and letting the worm fall on a slack line while falling through the strike zone. I paired the worm with an 1/8 oz. Round head jig. I also caught a couple nice smallmouth using a red shad Mann’s auger tail worm which I’m not sure are still in production.

The fish were set up late in the day at the backs of the marina coves. I was slow dragging and slightly shaking the bait. The best 5 I estimate to weigh around 14 to 15 lbs
