GOOD. Water lightly stained; 68 degrees; 13.27 feet low.
White bass fishing is off the charts and likely will remain that way until the water temperature drop to around 60 degrees.
Fish are consolidating into large schools and using water in the 32-44 feet of water. Mornings are producing better than afternoons, and the mid-morning from 8-10 a.m. has been the best of the best.
The MAL Original with white tail has been my go-to bait.
A few gulls are beginning to show up but have not yet been helpful in locating fish.
Days with winds from a southerly component and pre-frontal weather days are excellent. Calm, clear, cold post-frontal conditions are to be avoided.
