Bass are being caught by anglers concentrating on shad schools near submerged wood cover in the creeks. Shallow running crankbaits and plastic baits cast into these areas will take the bass. White bass are schooled up in Grassy and Bluestone Creeks but not in large numbers. Stripers are found deep with the mouth of Nutbush […]

When fish are found anglers can load the boat but finding them is the trick. Best action is coming from midlake and downlake areas and seems to be centered around the points halfway back in the creeks and in the edges of the flooded cover in the coves. Spinnerbaits plastic worms and jig ‘n pig […]

Bass are schooled up on structure and can be consistently caught on old road beds and points in 4-10 feet of water. Fish are aggressively hitting lures bumped on structure. Best lures are plastic worms and grubs in light colors fished on Carolina rigs. Striped bass are being caught by trolling with bucktails Cordell Red […]

Bass fishing should be improving with the falling temperatures and stabilizing weather. Best pattern appears to be a Carolina rigged pumpkin seed Zoom lizard fished in 20-25 feet of water on main lake points. Working these baits across the middle of coves in the creeks is also producing well. Striper action is slow but some […]

Bass action has picked up in the past week. Some good fish are being taken by fishing red mud points with stumps. Long tapering points on islands are also producing fish on deep diving crankbaits and plastic grubs. Spinnerbaits slow-rolled in shallow water early in the mornings will take some fish. Crappie action is fair […]

10-12 pound Striper are being caught vertical jigging with Hopkins and Salty Dog spoons and jigs. Trolling with bucktails and Redfins is also working well. Better areas are Nutbush Creek and County Line Creek on the lower end of the lake. Topwater lures are taking bass early and late in the day. Try large popping […]

Caught a few Largemouth Bass on the edge of this shoal and on the other side in deeper water.

Good fishing this morning down this side of the platform with lots of White Bass and a couple of Largemouth Bass on the troll.

Caught lots of White Bass trolling round the hump marked at this No Wake buoy. Silver spoons and spinners were the best in chartruse and gold.

Early morning anglers fishing deep-diving crankbaits and Carolina-rigged plastic lizards in 18-22 feet of water on creek and main lake points are catching largemouth bass. Stripers are taking trolled Cordell Redfins and bucktails in the Nutbush Creek area at night. Daytime striper anglers are catching the fish in an area bounded by Kimble Point to...

This will be a busy weekend on the water. Please be safe and WEAR your PFD. Remember to drink plenty of WATER or fluids with electrolytes. Dehydration is never a good idea. Between sun and wind fluids evaporate from your body. Sunscreen is your friend. If you don’t use it then make sure you wear […]

With the lake level stable bass are found on main lake points in the buckbrush. Best pattern appears to be fishing Carolina-rigged plastic baits on main lake and secondary points and flipping plastic baits in the bushes. Topwater baits are taking some fish early and late in the day in main lake coves. Suspending Rattling […]

The lake is at full pool and stable. Bass action is slow with most of the fish being caught on Carolina rigged Zoom lizards and worms in pumpkin pepper colors. Fish these baits on points in 5-18 feet of water. Some anglers are having success with small blue fleck plastic worms fished down the dropoffs […]

Waters throughout the state are lightly stained to muddy due to the large amount of rain received over the past week or so. That being said boaters need to be aware of floating debris in the waterways. Be especially careful when seeing a short vertical piece of wood floating. This could and generally is attached […]

Bass are still found in the buck brush. Others are found on standing flooded gum trees. Bass are also being caught on Carolina rigged lizards and worms in pumpkin pepper or green pumpkin colors fished on points in 5-18 feet of water in Butchers and Eastland Creeks. Striper action is good with fish being taken […]

Bass fishing is picking up with best fishing on the points and in the buck brush using plastic worms. Bass are burrowed deep in the bushes. Topwater baits or rapidly retrieved spinnerbaits are best early and late in the day. After the sun rises pitch or cast grubs and plastic worms with 1/16 ounce weights […]

Water level is around 303 and stable. Bass are still feeding. Spinnerbaits in the coves with particular attention to points are a good choice. Creature baits dropped into the middle of buckbrush will also take the finicky fish. Jerk baits fished parallel to buck brush banks are accounting for good fish. Carolina-rigged lizards are taking […]

With the frequency of cold fronts and rain over the past couple of weeks fishing has been on and off. When the rains let up the fish start biting. When the rains resume they turn off again. When the rain runs it’s course fishing will once again take off and be better than ever. Although […]

Striper and white bass fishing is good below Kerr Dam. Bucktails and live shad are the best bait. With the current lake level fishing has slowed in some spots. Bass fishing is generally slow and requires patience. Currently the larger fish are generally on the windblown points. Fish the flooded willow bushes adjacent to the […]

With the predicted rains fishing success will depend on patience. Target mud lines where muddy creek water enters the main lake or river. Chartreuse or red/orange rattling baits and Chatterbaits as well as large gold bladed spinnerbaits should take most of the bass. Clear water calls for more natural colors the vibrating crankbaits and spinnerbaits...
