FISHING TIPS
Bass Still Hitting! It was another good week for bass with the bite still good over most of the Lake. There are shad boils over many areas of the Lake. The catfish bite is good with limits in different areas of the Lake. The catfish bite was good at the Log Boom, on the shorelines and back by Boulder Bay. The bluegill bite is best in Hidden Bay.. The water level of the Lake has stabilized and the Lake will remain full all summer.
