The lake is slowly falling and is at 169.56 as of today, normal pool is 168.50. Water temps are ranging from 47-52 degrees and most of the lake is stained to muddy.
Bass are fair on a variety of lures. Rattletraps and Cyclone Lightnin' Blades over the open water grass are producing and many times you may find the bass stacked in these areas. Some good Trap colors to try are tequila or gold/orange in the muddier water.
A 1/2 oz. V&M Slippin Jig or brush hog type lure around the cypress in colors of watermelon, black/blue, or black/red have been catching some good sized bass when fished in 3-5 ft. of water.
Crappie are fair but have slowed over the past few weeks, a few are still being caught on chart./red and black/red jigs in the river channel near Johnsons - the water in the channel there is muddy.
