Grand: July 30. Elevation is normal and stable, water temperature 87°F and stained. (USACE Lake Level) Crappie good on hair jigs, minnows, and plastic baits around brush structure. Blue and channel catfish good on chicken liver, cut bait, live shad, shad, and worms around coves and docks. Largemouth bass good on crankbaits, jerk baits, jigs, plastic baits, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures around brush structure, riprap, shallows, shorelines, standing timber, and weed beds. Comments: Crappie activity is staying strong from mid lake to the dam with lots of folks catching crappie in the shade under docks early and late! Catfish are feeding in all areas and are fairly easy to catch around docks as well as drifting near flats and ledges.
