    Bass are fair and being taken on jigs and texas rigged worms fished
    near structure in 6-8 ft of water ,while crank baits and spinnerbaits
    fished around 10-12ft of water on primary and secondary points are
    producing numbers as well.

    Buzz bait and Fluke style lures are the preferred during earlier and
    late hours.

    With the recent rains and cooler temperatures Crappie are fair to good
    and being taken off brush piles and standing timber in 8-10 ft of
    water near channels while using minnows and rosy red minnow ‘s with
    reports of smaller spinners are effective as well.
