Awesome trip on the lake Saturday!
We targeted stripers, hybrids, spotted bass, white bass, and crappie. We ended up with a total of 41 fish!
Here is a short fishing report...
Lake level: 835.84
Surface Temp: 48-52
Clarity: Clear/Stained
Striper/Hybrid: Very Good!
Down-lines, planer boards, & free-lines are working. Down-line small gizzard shad or trout 18-25ft over main lake points from Bethany Bridge to the dam. Use planer boards & free-lines in these same areas.
White Bass: Very Good!
Kellogg Creek & Owl Creek are still holding fish. Long-line 1/16oz jigs 40-50ft behind boat. Troll speed between .6 to 1.0 mph. Jig spoons over points in the creek are also working. Striper Soup has a bunch of Flex-It jigging spoons in assorted colors & sizes and plenty of small & medium gizzard shad too.
Spotted Bass: Very Good!
Jerkbaits & spoons in clear water are working best. Focus on main lake points & pockets in clear to lightly stained water.
Crappie: Good!
The big crappie are starting to bite. Kellogg & Owl Creek is the best place for crappie right now. Long-line 1/16oz jigs 40+ft behind boat trolling .6 to 1.0 mph right down the middle of creek. Use your favorite color and you should boat some good ones.
Hope this helps put a few more fish in the boat.
Blessings!
