The crappie have been in 3 to 7 feet of water near brush in the coves and have been averaging 10 to 12 inches in length. The better bite has been in the morning and evening. Jug lines baited with cut shad and crawdads have also been producing. A few have been caught on Rooster Tails and spinners, but there has been no significant reports of the whites schooling up in the backends of the larger creeks or upper ends of the rivers. Water is extremely clear, not quite as clear in the Cape Fair area.
Fishing is excellent all over the lake.
There is a stickbait bite also on the main lake and secondary points, and around shallow docks on the back corners. Fish are up there roaming shallow getting ready to spawn. Water temperature really varies from 57-65 degrees, back pockets being the warmest with some water almost 70 degrees, in the late afternoons. Try spinnerbaits in the backs of creeks, and small jig, Team Supreme Rascal jigs is what I am using, in the backs of pockets. Crankbait bite is on gravel, protected gravel pockets, a good area to key on.
