Bass fishing is good. The largemouth have moved deep to the old river channels. The deep water patterns will last for the next several months ! Some are still under docks that have 4 feet or more of water under them. Fish a 1/2 ounce Oldham spinner bait in chartreuse and white with silver double willow blades or a carolina rig with a Zoom big dead ringer in Junebug. Stroking a brown 3/8 ounce stanley jig with a Zoom chunk in pumpkin seed is producing some good fish, crank baits are producing some fish also.
. The spotted bass have moved to points, humps and the old river channels use a Fat Free Shad crank bait in citrius shad color or a 1/2 ounce Oldham spinnerbait in chartreuse and white. Use a All Pro Rod APX Series 6 feet 10 inch medium heavy action for spinner baits and their 7 foot 6 inch or 8 foot ultra light APX flippin stick. www.allprorods.com


Crappie fishing is fair. The spawn is over and most fish have moved back to the river channel drops and can be caught bumping bottom with minnows, usa a 3/4 ounce weight on your main line and come up 16 inches and tie a hook and leader, fish the dropoff and look for any structure on the drop, target the 12-16 feet range in the Little river and Chattooga river area. Use a quality All Pro spinning rod in 5 or 6 foot length with a medium action .

Striper fishing is great.The stripers are in the main lake and at the cave hole in Little river. Fishing has been good for the last week with catches of 10 to 23 per half day trip. Fish the old river channels in the Chattooga river and Little river and the Coosa river, the point of Yellow creek where it meets the Coosa river has been a great producer the past week. Use live shad on a down line 8 to 12 feet deep and work the drop off from 12 feet down to 25 feet.Look for the schools of stripers on your fish finder and adjust your bait depth to get it a foot or so above them. Use a All Pro Rods Striper Special APX series. www.allprorods.com

Catfish are biting great. Alot of fish are being caught on jugs in the bays, use cut shad or live bream for the bigger fish
