GOOD. Water stained; 80 degrees; 0.13 feet below pool. Water is stained slightly on the upper ends but is generally clear from midlake to the dam. After the recent rains the lake is full pool, so watch for floating debris. Striped bass and sand bass can be caught near channel breaks near feeding flats at several locations from Ports–O-Call to Sandy Point and near the dam. Bigger striped bass are being taken on 1 ounce slabs and live shad fished mainly on the lower ends from Decordova to near the pump stations close to the dam. Smaller stripers and sand bass are easily being caught on slabs and spinnerbaits all over the lake from Bentwater to Blue Water Shores. Largemouth bass are good to 6 pounds on soft plastics and lipless crankbaits fished in the back of sloughs and near main lake points. Look for topwater action on feeding flats. Crappies are holdings to structure near deeper docks, underwater timber and near bridge pilings and are good on small minnows and jigs. Blue catfish continue to be good from Water’s Edge to Hunter Park on cut shad. An occasional bigger blue or yellow catfish to 25 pounds plus are possible.
