Pop R's, silver spoons and Zara Spook Jrs. are working the best on the surfacing whites. Largemouth bass have been slow with the lake temperature rising. The new grass is holding a few fish early in the mornings in the creeks and main lake cuts. Zara Spooks and buzzbaits will trigger a few strikes. During the day the fish are going out over deep water, not feeding, just sitting in the thermocline until night time.
Smallmouth bass remain active in the mornings on pea rock banks and chunk rock channel swings.
Small jigs in green pumpkin and Mud Puppy colors are catching the bigger fish in 20 to 35 feet of water. Mojo rigged watermelon or watermelon red brush hogs and centipedes are catching number of smallies over pea rock flats and chunk rock banks. Kentuckys remain suspended over deep water cuts and off of cliff rock points. Spooning has started working this last week as these fish have been schooling up tighter under balls of shad. If you are lucky enough to be in the right spot when they push the shad to the top, white Chug Bugs, Spook Jrs. and clear Pop R's will trigger some nice fish during their feeding frenzy.
