Fishing was slow for all species. Bass are for the most part suspended in 35 to 45 ft off the points. We stocked 1000 lbs of catfish last Thursday and almost all of them remain in inventory. We thought there would be a better night bite with the full moon but it did not happen.

Best Cat Spots:
Bird Trees and the edges of any flooded trees particularly in the backs of the coves.
Best Cat Bait:
Mackerel and chicken livers. Use scent liberally.
Best Bass Spots:
Hermit Cove and they are moving back to the points.
Best Bass Lures/Bait:
Texas rigged creature baits, Bass Assassins'.
Water Temp:
71 degrees on the surface

Prognosis:
The channel catfish cannot wear sunglasses so concentrate on the shady side of the overhanging trees and fish shallow. Still no topwater bite . There is some weed growth into 30 ft. of water. Texas rigged or Carolina rigged baits dragged close to the bottom may pick up feeding fish but the majority are suspended.
