The drizzle and cold front put the chill on all the bites. Trout were caught incidentally. A few cats were caught, mostly in the backs of the coves. The bass had lockjaw. Most bassers got 1 fish while fishing hard...

Best Trout Spots:
Shadow Cove and fishing float Best Trout Lures/Bait:
Rainbow Power Bait on a 2ft. leader at Shadow Cove

Catfish Spots:
Bird Trees and the edges of any flooded trees particularly in the backs of the coves

Best Catfish Bait:
Mackerel and nightcrawlers. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots:
Hermit Cove and they are moving back to the points

Best Bass Lures/Bait:
Texas rigged creature baits, crawdads, Rattletraps and Bass Assasins.

Prognosis:
The channel catfish as they move into the shallows looking for spawning spots are best found in the backs of the coves. If we get some warmer days a topwater bite will get going....

Water Temperature:
69 degrees on surface.

Our inaugural weekend of night fishing was just OK. A few limits of channels were caught but nothing really big. As predicted the backs of the coves provided most of the action. Bass bit better in the mornings. A few trout are being caught in 30 ft. of water out at the buoyline. Redears are showing up with regularity as a bycatch. It is 1 or 2 per angler usually fishing crawlers for cats. ...... Read More
