    BASS
    Bass are still easy to catch right now which is good considering about all other species are hard. And I am proud to say that the smallmouth bite is on right now. I have had really successful smallmouth trips lately.

    I have been catching a lot more fish in the Savannah area than I have in the lake. You can catch a lot of fish in below the Dam if the Dam is generating water. It is fairly easy to catch a lot of bass on Strike King Seriers 3 Crank Baits and grubs along the river banks. You just drift and cast to the bank, retrieve your bait back to the boat slowly. You can also drift with small split shots and live minnows if you like to use live bait. Fish a lot of rocky bluffs and chunky rocks, also fish some trees that have fallen in the water and believe it or not fish some plain looking muddy banks especially if they have something unique about them. If you cover enough of the river bank using these baits you are sure to catch a lot of bass right now, just remember the generation from the Dam is the key.

    White bass
    White bass are still running as usual but spotted are actually easier to catch. Right now I am even using the same technique for both white bass and spotted bass. The smaller white grubs defiantly out perform the other baits.

    Stripers
    I have not fished for stripers in over a week, I have been busy bass fishing. I can say for the last few weeks it has been tough catching a few stripers as expected for this time of year. I did catch a few fish on a Strike King Spoons in Sexy Shad Color which works pretty good this time of year if you are wanting to go striper fishing.

    Sauger
    I am happy to hear from a lot of fishermen that sauger are already biting good. I hope this means we have a good year ahead of us. I think most people are using minnows on standard sauger jigs. I often use minnow too but I will stubbornly use sassy shad until I see live bait outperforming artificial baits. They are coming out of different depths , anywhere from 15-50'.
