This week the bass have been biting more consistently in 1ft-4ft thought the entire lake! Squarebill crankbaits in shad or craw color, red or chrome rattle traps, and black/brown jigs with craw trailer have been producing around boulder rocks on points and isolated wood in pockets with shad. The crappie have locked up since the front moved through. A lot are suspending in deeper water and hard to catch. Others are sitting in brushpiles in 8ft-16ft, yet reluctant to move. Even though the bite is tough, there are still active crappie around wood in 6ft-14ft, just not as many. The bite will turn up once the temperatures stabilize.
The water temperature is still in the lower 70’s, but the bass have been active in 2ft-5ft around boulder rocks mid and up-lake.

Up lake crappie are being caught around Spring Creek on chartreuse jigs in 2ft-10ft and the bass have been biting plastic worms fished on shaky heads and topwater spooks! Down lake, both bass and crappie have been coming out of 15ft-30ft. The crappie have been biting live minnows fished off the bottom and the bass have been concentrating on points and humps in 10ft-25ft. Book your trip today!

“The last several weeks have been crazy on Priest. The water level has been up, down, muddy, and clear, which makes it hard to stay on a consistent pattern. However, the bass have been feeding very heavily certain days……creating some great memories! Squarebill crankbaits, shaky heads, A-rigs, and rattle traps in 1ft-18ft have been the most productive.”
