Please be careful with the low water levels !
Bass fishing is Good. Bass fishing is still good, the best bite is early and late. Try top water lure's early and late on deeper banks and deep seawalls, as the sun comes up move out to the old river channel ledges , crank baits, spinner baits and Carolina rigged plastics are always good deep water lure's. a 3/8 ounce jig in a brown craw fish pattern is also a good lure on these deep water ledges. Anytime they are pulling water look for the bass to pull up on the points in the lower lake around Bay Springs and in the Power House lake.
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.
