- GOOD. Water stained; 55 degrees; 0.06 feet below pool. Warmer weather in the forecast so the pattern is consistent. Some crappie are starting to spawn. Crappie are good in 12-15 feet of water near spawning flats with jigs or minnows. Catfish are slow drifting in 18-25 feet of water near main lake points and humps. Some fish have moved shallow after the rain. Bass are staging to spawn in 5-12 feet of water. Cast typical pre-spawn baits like swim jigs, squarebill crankbaits, or bladed jigs. Sand bass are beneath the birds with live bait or deadsticking slabs. Blue catfish and crappie are mixed in. Report by Daniel Koberna, Lt. Dan's Crappie Co.
