Fishing is finally starting to pick up a bit. I have lived here gong on 8 years now and I have never seen so much Gizard shad in the lake. I think that this has been one reason that the fishing has been slow.
Channal Catfish remain on a very good bite. Stink baits and liver will produce them. Fish near brush in 6-10 feet of water for best results.
White bass can be caught using Swim slabs and blade baits in 20-35 feet of water. Fish near the main channel. White or silver lures are the colors of choice.
Walleye are still a hit or miss, but at least there are some being caught. Slabbing in 30 foot of water near the main channel can be productive. The Ute arm has not been very productive for me. I have been fishing from the dam to the golf course.
As the temperature cools down, the fishing should only get better.
Friday (15th) I will recieve a batch of large Fathead minnows. A jig with a minnow is also an excellent way to catch fish this time of year.
FISH-ON,
Rob & Maria
