Tommy
Cauley of Fish Finder Guide Service said
the lake level is falling and the surface temperature
ranges from 41-46 degrees. The hybrid and white
bass fishing is good around shad at different times
during the day and some big ones can be caught
right now with spoons and inline spinners fished
right on the bottom in 38-68 feet of water. A few
male walleye are biting upriver; larger females
have backed down, but should come back with the
warmer weather forecast. Try jighead minnows and
crankbaits trolled behind line weights for the
best bite. The crappie are biting well on jigs
and minnows fished around trees and brush in 15-20
feet of water when the sun is out. Catfish are
biting well, but they’re holding in specific
areas and depths. Once you find one, you should
be able to reproduce the pattern. Bass fishing
is slow.
