Striped bass fishing has been hit-and-miss, but when located fish to 10 pounds are possible. Best bait is live shad or trolled spider rigs fished near striper alley. Crappie limits are possible on small minnows or jigs fished near structures, creek entrances and in the back of the creeks. Blue catfish are active and can be caught on cut or live shad on main lake humps and on the upper ends near Hunter Park. Many of the sand bass are still spawning on the upper ends near Tin Top, however many are returning to the main lake and can be caught in numbers on white and chartreuse slabs near humps and ridges. Largemouth bass are also moving into the shallows to their spawning beds. Look for fish staged at creek entrances and in the back of creeks. Largemouth bass anglers are reporting some good catches on soft plastics and spinner baits working sloughs and docks.
