Fish Report
There are still sporadic boils throughout the lake

The lake rose to 37 percent of capacity, and water temps held between 79 and 82 degrees. There are still sporadic boils throughout the lake, but the best time to get in on the action has been as soon as the lake opens. Almost any topwater lure has been productive with enough casts, but weightless white Tiny Flukes tossed right into the boils have been the most productive. Anglers never know if they’ll hook up with a two pound bass or a five pound striper. Every strike has been a surprise. Local guide, Dave Horst, reported putting a client on a four hour striper bite behind Kong Island. Bait anglers fooled striper while soaking cut sardines, and lugworms near the forebay bout line. For largemouth anglers who prefer to fish deeper in the water column it’s been all about shad, brown, or green pumpkin colored finesse baits on the drop shot or Carolina rigged. Jerkbaits scored plenty of bites for bass anglers who found the magic cadence.
