    Water Temp. 85

    BASS
    Walking baits are my number one choice of top water bait if you are not fishing over matted grass. If you are fishing a grassy area also try fishing with a plastic frog, they are very weedless and one the best baits you can choose in thick grass. After the top water bite is over throw a 1/2oz rattle trap over flats, you may have to reel it back pretty fast so it will not load up on grass. When you move out of shallow water start throwing a Strike King Series 3 Crank bait, I have caught a lot of fish lately on Splatter Back and Parrot Strike King Crank Baits. From 6am through 9am throw the Crank bait along bluffs and drop offs. The Series 3 baits will only run approx 8' and I have caught a lot of fish in 20' of water on the crank baits because the fish are suspended in the depth that the 3 and 4 series run. Deep water humps and ledges are accounting for most the big fish caught throughout the day. Strike King Series 6XD's are catching a lot of the fish in the deep water. Fish along river channels in 15-25' with Strike King Series 6XD, when you locate a few good fish also try a Strike King 1oz spinner bait.

    Stripers
    I have had some of the best striper fishing trips over the past week. Two different days this week we caught over 20. One morning we caught over 20 stripers with no water running. I also caught several stripers in the 10 pound range over the past week when the dam was generating. Most of the fish we caught were on Strike King crank baits . Top water baits accounted for several as well. When fishing a top water bait in the turbulent water you will need to pick a large enough bait to be noticed in rough water. Do not worry about controlling the action of the top water bait around the Dam because the rough water will control it more than you can. Just make long cast and reel it back at a pretty fast rate.

    Catfish
    I caught skip jack and fished with them with a one once sinker on the bottom in around 20' of water for catfish over the last two weeks. It did not seem to matter if the bait was alive or dead, unlike striper fishing where the baits really needs to be alive.
