| Black Crappie - Fair: Anglers are still catching the crappies out deep but if the nights stay fairly cool they should start moving in to shallower water. |
| Largemouth Bass - Good: Look to the North side of the lake out along the mounds on the flats and in shallow. Run your favorite crankbait and you should be able to find the bass. |
| Water temperature was 78 degrees on Wednesday. The storm may have cooled it off some more since then. |
