Summer is definitely in full swing. Every day is in the upper 90s with a few 100s thrown in. The surface temperature of the Lake is close to 80 degrees and the fish are reacting accordingly.
White Bass-They are on or near the surface for the most part, even in the deeper parts of the lake. Trolling with various Crankbaits was working pretty well over the past week. The best repors came from the Canadian from Horseshoe Bend to the Bell Ranch House.
Walleye-It looks like they are moving into deeper water, 25 to 30 feet. Live Minnows seem to be working the best. There were also a few reports of some success Bottom Bouncing with 'Crawler Harnesses.
Catfish are good on Danny King's Punch Bait, Nightcrawlers, and Chicken Liver.
Bluegill are very good on Nightcrawlers.
Crappie- They have slowed down but some are still being caught at night on live minnows.
Bass-The bite was pretty good over the weekend. It seems like the larger Smallmouth are starting to move into deeper water. Most of the reports that came from this group were using Drop Shots or Ned Rigs. Senko style baits and Swim Baits were being used more on the shallower fish.
