Bass fishing is Good and a lot of bass have moved shallow in the coves and bays as the water cools and the Shad migrate shallow. Shallow running crank baits, spinner baits and Rat L Traps in shad patterns are working well. Look for the bite to really get hot when the water gets below 70 degrees. Some good Bass are showing up on secondary points also.

Crappie fishing is Good and a lot of crappie are under the deeper docks , look for larger, older docks that create a lot of shade. Use a 1/24 ounce jiffy jig in colors JJ13 and JJ17. A lot of crappie are starting to show up on the old river channel ledges, spider rigging with minnows is starting to produce some good fish with a ton of under size fish. Over the last week a lot of crappie have shown up on the old river channels 10-12 feet deep, any where there is cover. Look for more to move to the ledges as the water cools more.

Striper fishing is fair and they are showing up in the main lake on river channel ledges 8-14 feet deep. Live Shad down lined and free lined, trolled slowly on the old coosa river channel is producing best

Catfish are biting good and they are being caught in the flats and coves in 8-15 feet of water on cut shad.
