Bass catches this week have been happening either deep or in the tullies, average depth being between 5-10 ft. Still not much going on in the pockets, but just outside. Slow drag drop shotting with Oxblood Roboworms and flipping with small compact plastics with thin tails and Keitechs.

Bass Angler's are bringing up Crappie and Blue Gill on Bass baits all Day as of The water level is almost at capacity. There isn't much good shoreline to fish from and the fish float/dock is out of commision due to the most recent storm.

We do however have plenty of rental boats to get out to where you need to be. With the pre-spawn about to go off, you'll need to get here early to ensure you get a boat. Boat rentals start at sunrise to 1 hour before sunset.

Water temperature: 56 degrees
