Bartlett Lake (report courtesy of Sportsman's Warehouse) - The crankbait bite is good, but dropshot and Texas rigs are producing fish. Use topwater early morning casting towards main lake points. The best bite seems to be later in the day. Remember, bass can be caught around boulders and in brush lines on 3-inch Yamamoto scope baits and spinnerbaits. The lake is 53% full. Crappie is just starting, try around the Yellow Cliffs with 1/16-ounce jigs and 2-inch Kalins. Slow trolling can work well. Catfish are becoming active. In the days and weeks to come they will be lurking the shallows in search of food. For channel cats, use live worms, stink baits and chicken livers. For flatheads, load up with big line 20-pound plus, fish 5-15 feet deep with live worms, live bluegill or small carp. Rig up a Carolina rig with 1-ounce egg sinker to help keep your bait on the bottom. Fish from dusk to dawn. If you have live scope, use minnow look-alike imitations bobbing up and down in 25 to 35 feet of water.
