Weather & Marine Conditions

Water temperatures in the region have remained stable, generally in the low to mid 70s Fahrenheit. Visibility is improving as algae blooms subside, and water clarity is reported to be good in most areas. These conditions are supporting active feeding behavior in several species, particularly during the early morning hours.

Fishing Conditions & Tips

For black crappie, focus efforts around the jetties with live minnows, especially at dawn. Anglers targeting channel catfish should use cut bait and fish near the jetties, though patience is required due to the slow bite. For largemouth bass, casting along the shoreline and near submerged structure is effective, with soft plastics and jigs producing steady action. Early morning remains the most productive time for all species.

Anglers are reminded to observe all posted size and bag limits, especially for largemouth bass and black crappie, as many fish being caught are below legal size.
