The Lake is 7 ft below full pool surface temp is 60 to 62 deegrees.
STRIPERS: The striper fishing is fair to good. look for the fish around the mouths of creeks and up the Coosawatee river. surface activity is still spuradic but if you see fish busting bait on top they will usually eat a redfin, Zara spook or a white bucktail jig. flatlines with large shinners, shad or trout will catch some fish pulled 50 to 80 feet behind the boat or on plainer boards, but the most consistant for us has been down lines fished 20 to 35 ft. under the boat. just locate fish with your graph and set the lines down just over them.
Look for the fishing to really pick up as soon as we get enough cool weather to get water temps down into the mid 50's
SPOTTED BASS: Good, lots of spott's are in the creeks and the coosawatee. some good fish are being taken on topwaters such as Zara spooks, Sammy's and pop R's and deep running crank baits, on secodary points. jigs and finesse worms will also catch some fish on blowdowns and brush piles in 8 to 20 ft of water.
