What I'm up to: Happy 4th everyone! Fishing has been quite good as of late for crappie, espeacialy on cloudy or rainy mornings. We have been finding them stacked up but a bit lethargic! One or two will hit every now and then, but that all adds up! Call me for open dates in July! If your by yourself no problem! I offer a $100 1/2 day one person fee! Good fishing to all!

JT’s Crappie Guide Service (479-640-3980) said bass have been biting well on Carolina rigs fished on main lake points and humps. Best colors have been watermelon/red and pumpkin seed. Spinnerbaits fished along flooded trees have also been effective. Crappie have once again been biting well in the mid-lake area on Shineee Hineee jigs. Docks, timber, bluffs and floating debris in the backs of deep coves have worked best. The fish have been suspended just off the bottom. White bass and walleye have been picked up at night around Horseshoe Bend along the bluffs. Set out lights and drop minnows down 10 to 30 feet deep. Stripers have been biting around Point Four by trolling umbrella rigs 20 to 30 feet deep. Bluegill have been taking worms and crickets under docks and around rocks. Catfish have been biting well under the 12 bridge from shore using worms or liver. Water temperature was 82.
