Fishing looks a little better than it sis last week. Stripers and largies became slightly more active in the fish arm; the bouy line is really inconsistent for anglers. Hawks nest has been a killer cove for some decently sized largies. Pearl and baby bass colored flukes and other shad limitations are working great back there. Elizabeth Cyn is another place to pick up the largies as well as the stripers and cats. Flukes, nightcrawlers, robos, and anchovies are working great back there. If you can net shad of course than that is the hot ticket for sure. And if you can't net the shad, a great alternative would be the frozen shad. There are still big schools of shad around the marina. They are just a little deeper and harder to net. There are lots of netable shad in old SS and a couple of the coves around Kong Island. The west ramp is still the place to find those bigger stripers but the fishing there has got a lot slimmer. Around c-point, a lot of largies have been busting and the stripers have been mixed in too. Lagoon fishing is doing a little better with lots of largies and few cats and a bunch of panfish. Night crawlers are the universal bait down at the lagoon and will catch pretty much everything down there. Little crappie jigs are also working as well as the flukes.

Striper fishing is still holding strong in the afternoon near the west ramp. At the end of last week there were hundreds upon thousands of dead shad near the west ramp just floating on the top while the stripers boiled on them till the sun went down. Along with the dead shad hundreds of dead baby and full grown largies have also been spotted all over the lake. The reason for this is unknown, but the upper lake was definitely...... Read More
