Fishing Report

Oct 23, 2024: GOOD. Water stained; 68 degrees; 2.14 feet below pool. Striper fishing is excellent using live bait on humps and ledges in 25-40 feet of water with live shad. Look for schooling fish and gulls working the main lake in the river channels as well. Swim baits and A-rigs will catch those suspended fish. Crappie fishing will pick up as water temperatures drop and fish move towards the brush and creeks in 10-15 feet of water. Use electronics and jigs to trigger reaction bites from fish in the brush. Bass fishing is slow as water levels remain below average, exposing shorelines. Target fish around docks and in the backs of coves. Reaction bites on crankbaits or swim baits and topwaters early along the sandy points can be effective. Catfishing is great, with bigger blues showing up on deep flats off the river channels in 40-50 feet of water. Big baits for big fish. Eater-size blues and channels can be found around stumps and on humps in 18-30 feet of water off the main lake flats. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. The seagulls have arrived directing the way to feeding striped bass and schools of bait. Striped bass are good on shallow flats in 12-25 feet of water with topwaters and slabs.
