At the Somerville Marina crappie bite is slow, bluegill and catfish are fair.
Crappie are fair on jigs and minnow on main lake brush in 8-16 feet of water.
Catfish are fair in 3-10 feet of water with cut shad or punch bait.
White bass are fair trolling with various spoons or anchored with shad and ghost minnows.
Hybrids are fair in deeper water, afternoon bite is best when you locate them, using cut bait.
Below the dam fishing is fair, while water is being slowly released.

Stillhouse Hollow SLOW. Water stained; 88 degrees; 1.41 feet above pool.
Largemouth bass fishing has had to transition away from reliance on hydrilla-related patterns due to the total loss of this reservoir’s hydrilla.
Anglers targeting fish on structures positioned on irregular topographies are often rewarded with multifish catches as fish consolidated on the sparse cover remaining. Texas-rigged, dark soft plastics have produced consistently in 12-18 feet. Tournament anglers report a feeding window about 20 minutes either side of sunset in the evenings, but very tough, hit-or-miss fishing beyond that.
