| Bass | The bass bite can be called good as the water temps continue to rise. For bass, Texas-rigged lizards, square-billed crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and swimbaits are good lure choices. Dark colored jigs and chatterbaits are also good lure choices. Target backwater areas like the Hwy 50 area, Tibbee Creek and the old river runs on the north end of the lake for pre spawning fish. In some of the clearer backwaters, you may be able to see a few fish on the bed. |
| Crappie | For crappie, target some of the same areas as the bass fishermen. The stumps along the east bank are a popular area as well. Most anglers are fishing jigs with some chartreuse color in them if the water is still fairly dirty. |
| Catfish | For catfish, target the mouths of the old river runs with trot lines and rod-n-reels. Fish will also be holding at the edge of any current along the navigation channel. The submerged logs along the deep side of the old river run between the marina and the East Bank boat ramp is a good place for tightlining as well. Cut/whole shad is typically the best bait choice. |
