This roller coaster weather!
In recent weeks the weather continues to make fishing challenging.  I can’t believe it’s 38′ this morning at Palmetto Lodge.
Lake level at Riverside is 130.8 and muddy. Lake level at the dam is 131.2′ with a discharge of 8000cfs and clear.

We had some good fishing this past week with South wind and falling barometric pressure until late Saturday when the front hit.

White bass are scattered everywhere! Lots of small fish caught in upper lake creeks along with occasional big females still  with eggs.

Crappie were good with most fish being caught from 4 to 6 feet off the ends of laydowns on minnows.  Best bite seemed to be late evening. Bethy, Harmon and White Rock Creek areas were good before the front.

Blue cats have been good on jug lines baited with fresh shad in Bethy and Harmon creeks.

Black bass have been good in clear water pockets off Northern creeks on spinnerbaits and June bug colored Baby Brush hogs.
Good luck fishing and see you on the water!
