Bass fishing is Good. Most Bass have moved to their summer haunts on main lake points, humps and main river channel ledges. Crank baits, Spinner baits, Jigs and Carolina rigged plastics are always great baits to catch these fish on the drop offs. Spotted Bass are out on the deeper main lake points and river channel ledges. Carolina and Texas rigged plastics are producing good. Stroking a 3/8 ounce jig in a brown crawfish pattern with a Zoom chunk trailer in pumpkin seed is catching some good fish. Little River is producing some good spots on the river channel ledges above JR's Marina up to the Cave Hole.
Crappie fishing is Fair. The crappie are on the main Coosa River and other creek channel ledges. Night fishing on these ledges with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is always a good bet to catch crappie and beat the heat of summer. Fishing brush piles in 10-18 feet of water with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing some good fishing. Shooting docks with a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in Color JJ13 and JJ17 and JJ20 and JJ25 is producing some good catches.
Striper fishing is Poor. With low oxygen levels in the lake the Stripers have shut down. Plenty of small schooling Stripers and White Bass in the 1-2 pound range are being caught working the surface chasing shad in the main lake from the causeway in Cedar Bluff to the powerhouse lake. You can catch these fish on a 3 inch white or pearl Sassy Shad or curlytail grub on a 1/4 ounce jig head.
Catfish are biting Good. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the bays of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use live bream, cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait.
