Water temp. has been ranging in the high 40's. Bass are being caught on shallow flats on the main lake and in the creeks. Shallow diving crankbaits and jerkbaits seem to be working best right now. Natural colors are working well in clear water, but if the water becomes more stained up in the creeks red and firetiger may work better.

I'm starting to hear some reports of crappie biting on jigs and minnows, but not much in the way of specifics such as depth and location. But, I can say this time of year the big crappie will usually stage around the mouth of creeks, and begin to gradually migrate up the creeks as the water continues to warm.

Hope this helps. Good fishing!
