GREAT. Water stained; 83.6 degrees; 0.61 feet above pool. Catfishing has been good in 10-25 feet of water on baited holes using Catfish Bubblegum, cured liver worms, and punch bait. Bass are hitting early along the edges and later on offshore structures up to 20 feet deep, with plum colored Ol’ Monster worms producing best. Report by Brad Doyle with Bradley’s Guide Service. Crappie fishing has slowed this week but they’re still being found around structure and timber in 12-20 feet of water, mostly smaller fish, biting on minnows, hair jigs, and plastics – once the bite slows, try relocating. Hybrid and white bass are schooling on flats and drop-offs in 14-21 feet, hitting slabs, spoons, and shad. Several juvenile hybrids have been caught, so be sure to check the tooth patch for identification using the Outdoor Annual app. Always wear your life jacket. Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy.
