With high temperatures and sunny conditions, early morning and late evening will provide the best fishing opportunities.
Here’s what to expect:
- Largemouth Bass: Bass will likely be deep during midday hours. Target main lake points and creek channels in 15-25 feet with Carolina-rigged worms and deep-diving crankbaits. Early morning topwater action could be good near grass beds.
- Striped Bass: Look for stripers in deeper water around the main river channel. Trolling bucktails or using live shad should be effective, particularly near the Eaton Ferry Bridge area.
- Crappie: Target brush piles and bridge pilings in 15-20 feet of water. Small minnows and jigs should work well, especially during early morning hours.
- Catfish: Night fishing for catfish should be productive. Try cut bait or chicken livers in deeper channels.
- White Perch: Look for schools in 15-20 feet of water near creek mouths.
The extreme heat will push fish deeper during midday. Plan fishing trips for early morning or evening hours for best results.
