The lake is clear, full pool and surface temps
are 78 to 80 degrees.
Strippers and Hybrid: Hit or miss, It's typical summertime fishing
for the linsides on Carters. Its a matter of timming. The fish
will feed for a few hours every day; if your there when it happens
you can catch them. Best times to try are daybreak until 10:00am
or 6:00pm until dark. Look for the fish on main lake points and
humps. We have had a few fish come up on freelined Shad but the
best bite has been on downlined shad and shinners suspended 18
to 25 ft down over 30 to 35 ft bottom. Just move around on the
point or hump and watch your graph if you see fish adjust your
baits to their depth. If you dont see fish don't give up, they
could move up and start feeding at any time.
Spotted Bass: Its also typical summertime pattern for the spotts.
The green pumpkin finesse worm fished on a Texas rig in brush or
blowdowns in 10 to 20 ft water on rocky banks or points has been
good... For night fishing a 3/4oz black or juebug colored spinnerbait
with a #4 colorado blade slow rolled on the bottom on long main
lake points will catch some really nice fish. They key is to keep
the bait down bumping bottom.
