- GOOD. Water normal stain; 64 degrees; 21.37 feet below pool. The striper and white bass action has really been kicking off. Large schools are midlake between Party Cove and Potters Creek Park. Umbrella rigs casted and slow rolled have been the ticket to producing limits of striper and some white bass. This action typically lasts the first hour of the day, and longer on a nice overcast day. Look for seagulls hovering on the surface, this is a good sign indicating fish are right below. Largemouth bass have definitely started to spawn. Bladed jigs, underspins, as well as weightless worms have been producing good numbers of fish along the edge of flooded brush mixed with hydrilla. Focus on the back of the cove and work your way out. Keep note of how far back you catch your fish as you can replicate this in most coves around the lake. You can also focus on the last bit of deeper water and last bit of structure you find before the shallows as this is a great pre-spawn staging location. Secondary points, brush piles, rock ledges are areas fish hold to before moving up to spawn, then return post pawn. Report by Tyler Stanley, Game on Guide Service.
