Bluegill hitting meal worms and crickets. Water has cooled, according to Horse Creek Resort guide Dave Moore. Best taking soft plastic works and lizards in 25-feet of water. Catfish remain the hot ticket with most hitting liver, nightcrawlers or cutbait around the mouth of Duck River. Philip Dunigan weighed a 35-pounder at Hunt's Outdoors.
Crappie fishing is slow.
Bass hitting early and late in day on topwater and deep-diving crankbaits in the middle of the day. Bass fishing terrible, according to Mark Cantrell and the folks at Nort's Market. Nightcrawlers and meal worms working for bluegill land cutbait or livers for catfish. Rockfish hitting in and around Lost Creek on the lower end of the lake, mostly taking live shad used on free lines. Smallmouth slow with a few being taken on lizards or worms.
