Body

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 81 degrees; 9.28 feet low.

With no big changes in the weather in the past week, nor any forecast for the week to come, the fishing is pretty much unchanged.

White bass continue to have an inconsistent morning and evening topwater bite. Things will likely stay this way until the lake turnover. Topwater feeders will hit MAL Original lures, rattling hard baits, and various poppers equally well.

Fishing has been fair from sunrise until 10:15 A.M., then again from about 40 minutes prior to sunset, and until about 20 minutes thereafter.
