Author: As everyone knows, the lake has been in turnover the past week or so. Fishing for anything has been pretty slow. But there’s a few species out there that don’t seem to mind? The hot bite of the week is!!
Shellcrackers-this bite is crazy hot right now, and will only get better. The full moon phase is coming in, and they like it!! Fish mini carolina rigs, or split shot rigs, with baby nightcrawlers or redworms. Secondary points with shell beds on them has been hot!! 10 to 15 feet of water has been the key depth. Also around any of the islands, has been a hot bite also. Shellcrackers up to 12 inches long have been caught. Amazing bite right now!!!
White Perch- All you perch jerkers out there should be loving this bite. The big gap all the way up into the rivers is great right now. 1/2 ounce spoons is the way to fast and furious action. Also drop shot rigs with berkley gulp minnows is catching great numbers of perch. these fish are great to eat if you’ve never tried them. Perch over 9 inches fillet up great, so give them a try.
Encourage one another and build up each other. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
thought of the week: God’s love reaches across the miles to strengthen and warm us .
