Line-side fishing is great!  The fishing this week is the same as last week.  Change nothing!!!

The fish are in their summer pattern.  The big schools we were fishing mid-lake have moved south.

The down-line bite is in full swing and we are catching 90% of our fish out over the river channel near the dam.  The fish are really starting to school up and are on the move up and down in the water column.  Some days we are getting them as shallow as 15 feet.  Then the next day, they may be 50 feet deep.

Keep an eye on your Lowrance and more importantly trust what you are seeing.

Right now I am fishing from Bartow Carver to Clark’s Creek, but most of my numbers are coming within a mile of the dam.

Thread-fin shad are my bait of choice, but others are doing well on both shiners and Gizzard shad.  The water is heating up fast.  Shad will be very hard to keep alive on a hook come mid-July.  Make sure you carry plenty of bait with you and change it often.

Come catch some fish with First Bite Guide Service!
