Hot ,hot ,hot,slow curent so the ledge bite is iffy if at all,most current is generated later than what a T angler can use from 2 to 6 pm.Not that one cant get bit on a ledge some quality fish are still on them just not in numbers.
You can fish a hump or ledge one day and they are there but not the next or leave a few min later someone else gets into them as they are moving around with their food supply.Target 12 to 25 ft on creek channel edges or main channel with 10 in purple worms.
Shallow schoolers are present in the bays on secondary points worms ,flukes spinnerbaits and as long as fry is present they will continue to bite however many are not keepers most of the keepers one does get are 21/2 pds or so,with an occasional bigger fish but many many smaller ones.One can have a 50 fish day with these easily and they are a ball.
Topwater bite has been iffy as well other than some schooler action,with much better results using a sub surface bait even something that is barely under the water such as a 1 minus crank.
Spinnerbaits a 3/8 oz with chart shirt and a single colorado gold blade nothing huge one size smaller than normal for the bait .If cranking deep white spatterback in a dd22 (ie mixed results) most likly due to the lack of current.
On the main lake the lazer eye in sexy shad has also been working,mostly on schoolers.
Lake is now below summer pool at about 358.45,first time this year since the flood.
I know its hot but wear the life jacket and always connect the kill lanyard.
