Whitebass remain excellent. The fish are in the jumps early and late. <br>When in the jumps allot of different baits are working. The bigger <br>whitebass are being caught on the bottom with jigging spoons. Crappie <br>are slow and there are very few fishermen going after them. Catfishing <br>is good below the dams on cutbait. Bluegill are good early and late <br>along the docks and deep banks. They are running somewhat small <br>now. Largemouth are spotty on the drop-offs. Lake Barkley is <br>producing the better catches on Carolina rigged plastic worms. Some <br>have been taken on deep crankbaits. Smallmouth have slowed since <br>last week.<br><br>TIP: Take plenty of liquids and sun screen. It's really hot out there.<br><br>BIT AND PIECES: "Use what talents you possess; the woods would <br>be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best."
