Hot, sunny conditions will concentrate fish in deeper water and shaded areas.

  1. Largemouth Bass: Focus on early morning topwater action near grass beds, then switch to deep structure during midday. Carolina-rigged worms and deep crankbaits should work well.
  2. Striped Bass: Early morning trolling with bucktails should be productive in the main river channel. Live bait will work well near bridges.
  3. Crappie: Look for suspended fish around bridge pilings and brush piles in 15-20 feet of water.
  4. White Perch: Target deeper creek mouths with small jigs and minnows.
  5. Catfish: Night fishing will be most productive. Use cut bait or chicken livers.

Plan fishing activities for early morning or evening hours to avoid the heat.
