Ken says: The lake level stands at 599.97 as of todays report. Normal summer pool is 599.7 As it stands we our right at normal summer pool. Water temps. are running in the mid 70's. The crappie are starting to move back in to some of the major creek arms and bigger coves. Look for the shad schools and bait balls of this year hatch of shad midway back in coves on the depth finder. We look for cover halfway back on our Hummingbird side scan (laydowns, stumps and brush piles) back in a cove in 6-8 feet of water and throw a 1/16 oz. jig under a small cork or you can use minnow under a slip cork. The large mouth bass should be in the shallows in the morning. Buzz bait, chrome and blue spook, pop r' s or a square billed shad color crank bait early in morning. Then when sun gets high in the sky go to black and blue brush hog or 10" red shad worm on a heavy shaky head jig in cover on shallow stumps and cover . Walleye and White bass can be caught from first light up feeding on wind blown sand flats( look for the gulls diving) and rocks and the outside of boat ramps rock. Also they can be caught trolling Bandit 300 series crank baits or shad raps on main lake points up in the day. Be safe and watch for other boaters... Tight Lines
