À propos de cette écoute
Sunrise today was at 5:45 AM, with sunset rolling in at 8:36 PM—plenty of daylight for anglers to chase their personal bests. We’re sitting in the middle of a warm, steady summer pattern. Early mornings start off in the upper 60s and by mid-afternoon, temps climb into the mid-80s. Water temps are running in the low 70s—about 73 degrees—slower to warm up than usual this year, which is keeping fish a bit more active than your typical late June[1][2].
The fishing’s been hot, even with the lake sitting just under full pool and a touch of current generation keeping things lively. Fish have been somewhat scattered, so you’ve got to be willing to move and mix up your presentation. Most of the big tournament weights lately have come from that magic mid-depth range—secondary points, channel swing docks, and brush piles on or near deeper water. These pattern areas are holding a mix of suspended and bottom-hugging fish, so watch your electronics and adjust as needed[2][3].
Largemouth bass are the main event, and the bite’s been “on fire,” as reported by BassingBob and Casey Scanlon. Big fish are showing up, especially during evening tournaments. Early and late in the day, topwater baits like walking plugs and poppers are getting solid blowups, especially around the mouths of creeks, shallow brush, and shady docks[2][3][4]. When the sun’s high, switch to creature baits or jigs pitched around brush piles and docks, where bass are ambushing shad and bluegill. Don’t overlook a Carolina-rigged worm or deep-diving crankbait off secondary points and steeper banks.
Crappie fishing is steady. The best bite is on brush piles, particularly those on or adjacent to points. Fish small jigs—1/32 to 1/8 ounce—or minnows just above or in the brush. Most fish are running above the 9-inch minimum, and they’re thick thanks to a solid cicada and shad forage base this year[4].
Catfish are active, running strong from April through September as usual. Some big blue cats have come on cut shad, especially off deeper flats and near creek mouths. Channel cats are reliable on stink bait and nightcrawlers.
Walleye are a sleeper hit, especially if you troll crankbaits over rocky points and humps at dawn or dusk. Bright colors are key—orange, chartreuse, or white jigs tipped with minnows or grubs get it done. White bass are schooling over long points and around windy, submerged islands. Throw small swimbaits or spoons into the action when you spot a frenzy.
A couple of hot spots worth your time right now:
- The Niangua Arm, especially secondary points with brush and docks.
- The Glaize Arm, for both crappie and bass—focus on points with good structure.
