Lake Monroe...... The fish are moving up, but just as they start we get pounded with cold rain, the lake rises 7 feet in 36 hours....... Uh Oh!!! Ok....so......Largemouth are starting to bite, but are scattered out and backed out due to the recent rains.
Largemouth are being caught on Jerkbaits, Rat-T-Traps and Chatterbaits. Try concentrating on areas that are not only wind protected, but also getting lots of sun.
The water is stained to muddy depending on which portion of the lake that you are on. Walleye and Wipers should start really moving up and feeding this next week or so, I will try to keep you posted on their locations, but as of Friday they seemed to be staged out in about 10-12 feet on the break lines off secondary points. Crappie are close, but the cold rain pushed them back a little and they seem to be in 6-8 feet of water on the points, but that will change rapidly as the sun starts warming up the water.
