GREAT. Water stained; 82.4 degrees; 0.76 feet above pool. Catfish are improving with fewer small fish being caught, and baited holes or drifting shallow flats with natural baits are producing well. Bass reports are strong, with good fish on edges at first light and under docks or offshore structures during the day; poppers and shallow-running baits work early, switching to Ol’ Monster Plum midday. Report by Brad Doyle with Bradley’s Guide Service. Crappie are being found on structure and timber in 12-20 feet, mostly juveniles, with minnows, hair jigs, or plastics working best. Hybrid and white bass are schooling on flats and drop-off edges in 14-21 feet, hitting slabs, spoons, and shad, with some smaller schools mixed in; check the tooth patch via the Outdoor Annual app to distinguish hybrids from whites. Always wear your life jacket. Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy.
