Extended Weather Forecast
Water Level on 7/27: 171.19 (-0.81)
Water Level Details
GOOD. Water slightly stained; 91 degrees; 1.80 feet below pool. Fishing is slow during the day but great at night. The forecast predicts 4-5 inches by the weekend, and the creeks are running strong. Water temperatures are back down in the high 80s, so when the weather finally settles the bass fishing should improve during the day with all the freshwater. Topwater baits, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits will be good in 1-5 feet around the bay grass and edge of flooded bushes. It will take a few days for the deeper fish to start to bite after all the rising water. Best baits will be mid range crankbaits and Texas rig, worm or baby’s brush hog. The best bite has been at night with catches up to 10 pounds with buzzbaits and spinnerbaits on main lake points then Texas rigs and Carolina rigs out in 10-16 feet. The crappie fishing has been slow but should improve. Best fishing has been deep brush and standing timber 12-18 feet with live bait. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
