White bass are excellent on humps, flats, and ridges with chartreuse or white slabs and jigging spoons. Look for birds diving over feeding schools. Largemouth bass are good with crankbaits, jigs, and wacky-rigged worms near docks, timber, and rock piles. Smallmouth bass are good on plastic grubs on jigheads and small cranks in 5-15’ along rock ledges and steep rocky shorelines. Catfish are excellent with prepared baits and cut bait. Crappie are good with live minnows, and jigs near rocky drop-offs, brush piles, and timber in 12-25’.
