R.D. BAILEY - The lake is approximately one foot below summer pool. The lake and tailwaters are clear. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at 304-664-9587. Some spotted bass should be hitting on the lake. The bass will be found along the rocky drops with points another good spot to try. Good baits are plastic jigs in black and chartreuse colors or live shad. Bluegill is providing consistent action in the standing timber. Best baits are worms and small jigs. Hybrid striper and channel catfish fishing is good off of shallow points at night. Best baits are chicken liver and softshell crayfish. Anglers should concentrate their efforts early and late during periods of extreme heat. Carp are also providing a lot of fun for night anglers. Best baits are corn and dough balls.
I hit Winfield Locks last saturday, 2 hybrids over 8 lbs, probably half a dozen from 5-6 and a striped bass that probably went about 4.5-5 pounds. Live bait was key, and the early bite was one from about 6 to 11, after 12 oclock it was pointless for the big guys. Be back with another report after tomorow morning from the same area.
