Water Temp: 86
Water Level: 2.62ft low
Fishing is Fair: For the rest of the summer it will be all about the brush and shade bite. Any place you can find shade is the place to be. Docks, bluffs, brush, wave barriers and deep water are all places to try where fish are trying to cool off and get comfortable. On top of that the shad are VERY small right now so match the hatch is becoming crucial at times. The deep bite is by far the most consistant especially using the sonar and fishing around brush. For sonar it's mostly small spoons and dropshot for me. For brush I'm using spoons, jigs, BIG cranks or anything that you can get down to the brush and fish it effectively and I don't think color matters much as getting the lure in the fishes face and trying to get it to react. The key now is to fish as many productive areas as possible so the run and shoot offense is what has been working best for me. If you don't get a hit in 10 minutes or even less move to the next area. Numbers are not great but it seems to be making it up in quality.
I could be wrong but I am starting to see what I think looks to be a thermocline forming at around 28ft. I need to bring my portable temp gauge out next time to be sure. The thermocline will help concentrate those fish and help you eliminate alot of water based on the depth of the thermocline. The key will be fishing structre and cover within the thermocline column.
