The lake level rose seven feet last week and surface temperatures range from 50 to 53 degrees. Spotted bass bite is very good for the few getting out. Four spotted bass larger than seven pounds have been caught in the last week. Drop shotting plastics or  presenting jigs 25 feet deep off points up river or over humps in the main lake get fish. Slow presentation is the key. Numbers are very good. Bass anglers are getting lots of trout while drop-shotting in the creek arms.   Bait Barn (209) 874-3011 (209) 586-2383
