Ken says: The lake level stands at 603.86 as of todays report and has crested and is on the way down. Normal summer pool is 599.7 As it stands now we are a little over 4 feet over summer pool. The crappie are still out In 8-12 feet of water so we have been trolling 200- 300 series Bandit crank baits. We look for the shad schools on main lake and the mouth of coves on the depth finder and you can see the crappie and white bass underneath the shad schools. Use line counter reels so you know how much line you have out and run your speed at 1.6 on gps . The learning curve on this technique is short so by midday you should have it down. The large mouth bass should be in the shallows in the morning. Buzz 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 on main lake points. Walleye can be caught from first light up feeding on sand flats and rocks and the outside of boat ramps rock. Also they can be caught trolling shad raps on main lake points up in the day. Be safe and watch for other boaters... Tight Lines
