It’s been a few weeks since my last report. I wanted to get back on the water after the shutdown to ensure I report accurate information so you can go out and catch ‘em.

This is a great time of year to catch them on lures or live bait. Fish early and catch them on topwater before it gets hot!! The water temp is 87 degrees when we started yesterday.

Top baits this week for me were the Zman Jackhammers, Chug Bugs, Storm Largo Shad 3.5″ and the Mike Bucca 7″ Trick Shad Gizzard color.

The live bait bite was great this week. The fish are moving into deeper water so the deeper canals and pits are my focus areas. As water temps continue to climb the bite will slow down as the fish go deeper.

The lake is 12.8” above regulation. Water temps are around 74 degrees when I’m starting. The boat ramp is clear but there is a grass island close to the ramp. The S Canal was slightly blocked this morning but is now clear.

The lake is 14” above regulation. Water temps are around 69 degrees when I’m starting and by the late afternoon will peak at 73. The boat ramp is clear and the S Canal is slightly plugged but easy to get around it.
