Summer Season (June through August)
Black and Spotted Bass
A. Where To look - Don't get too far away from the spawning areas. Find first break into 5 - 10 ft. depth. The ends of the shallow ridges are a good holding area for bass moving into deeper summer time haunts. Grass beds in the 10-ft. Depth hold lots of fish this time of year. The edge of the main river channel is a good summer spot. Look for 10 -12 ft dropping off into the river channel. B. What Baits to use - top water, crank baits, plastic worms and lizards, jig and craworm. C. Techniques - early morning fish top water baits close to grass beds and tight timber structure. Deep diving crank baits retrieved slowly in heavy timber or submerged grass beds along the creek and river channels is a great choice. Plastic worms and lizards’ fished Carolina rigged in the same areas produce lots of quality fish. Vertically fish jig and craworm in and around the edge of the grass mats using a slow fall pitching or flipping type cast. Use whatever weight jig is needed to penetrate the grass.
White and Striped Bass
A. Where to look - main lake humps in 15 - 20 ft. depths. B. What Baits to use - 3/4 oz. Rinky-dink, buck tail jigs, and cc spoons. Top water plugs. C. Techniques - vertical fishing when fish schools are down deep. Casting with pumping retrieve when fish come to the top chasing shad. Cast into surfacing schools with plugs.
Crappie
A. Where to Look - creek channels near grass beds in thick brush or cover. 10 to 15 ft. deep. B. What Baits to use - minnows are best some jigs. C. Techniques - vertically fish minnows on tight line. Start at the bottom and work your way up slowly. Best fish and stringers are caught at night with the help of lights.
Bream
A. Where To Look - Shallow. Go near the shoreline in the backs of creeks and pockets, in 1 to 5 ft. Depth. Try tops of ridges in the main lake near grass beds. B. What Baits to use - crickets, red worms, mealworms, and small jigs. C. Techniques - tight line live bait with small hook and split shot. Use float to suspend live bait or jig off the bottom, and retrieve with slow jerky motion.
Catfish
A. where To Look - The main lake points, ridges, and flats in 6-to10 ft. of water. B. What Baits to use - marshmallows (small), worms, prepared baits (dough, cheese, blood) C. Techniques - fish all types of baits on a Carolina type rig with a 1 to 2 ft leader, on the bottom in sandy areas.
