The water Temp has now hit 60 +. Lake Level is at 659.4. Every species of fish have really been starting to get more active. The Bass have not moved onto beds just yet, however, the Crappie have started to move into shallower water and into the coves.
Walleye have been caught this past week trolling. Not a lot of keepers, but the bite has really increased. Fishing from Beaver Creek to Snap Cove has produced the most reports.
Black Bass - Excellent reports of bass moving more shallow and being caught throughout the day. Some baits being used include:
Spinner Baits and Wiggle Warts when there is a good breeze, Jigs are working at about 10 feet, Stick Baits of all colors and Tube Baits slow bouncing off of points and chunk rock bluffs.
Crappie Numbers are getting better each day with the water warming. Live minnows have been the best with swimming minnows working well on the points of the coves. Try smoke & glitter, pearl / black back and grape & silver glitter. The bite should really be on in the coming weeks!
White Bass - Still huge number of whites being caught. Try a smoke & purple glitter swimming minnow, white Roster Tail and chrome Rattle Trap.
