Fishing Report

Generation: 10:00 a.m. till 8:00 a.m. Floodgates: Closed. Weather: low 70 / high 92 / clear.

Fishing time: 5:30 a.m. till 11:30 a.m.

Early fishing was good using shiners.  After 8:30 fishing slowed to nearly nothing.  Captain Joe Grigar brought his four fishermen back to the dock to finish out their limit.  The stripers are scattered all over the lake. If you are lucky enough to stay over a school for over twenty minutes you can catch several nice silversides.  Over half of today’s fish were caught only twenty feet from the dam.  The rest were caught on the southeast corner of the table top, in Little Mineral and at the dock.  Without our usual large schools of threadfin shad, large schools of stripers are hard to find. 

Summer fishing has gotten here early.  Get out your two ounce slabs and a noisy topwater lure or two and enjoy chasing the stripers early in the mornings.
