The water temps are rising every day well into the 70 degree mark. The cooler nights we have been having should drop water temps a little, and maybe get this lake fishing a little more consistent. The fishing remains good for now. Fish outside Buckeye Bay in 8-15 feet of water or right off Rocky Point in 10-20 feet of water. Also try right outside the Marina along weed lines, good spot for tubers. The best baits have been Berkeley Gulp in Rainbow Candy or Orange Pulp, Power Bait in Salmon Peach and nightcrawlers. If you want to toss lures, try a CD-5 or CD-3 Rapala in orange back or Perch, 1/4 Oz. Kastmasters in silver/orange or silver with red tape and Cyclones in gold or Perch. Power Worms fished with a water bubble can be deadly here at times. Lots of Perch fry swimming around, throw lures that imitate small wounded fry, and Mr. Brown could come give you a pleasant surprise. The Marina has closed down for the summer.?Į
