All three lakes are producing some very good summer action, whether it's bass, crappie, catfish, or even tilapia. On the bass front, water temps are still high with the recent hot spell, so fish have been far more active in the mornings and evenings. But even during midday, some quality fish are being pulled out on reaction stuff. Folks are ripping crankbaits, jerkbaits, or even jigs with rattles, landing fish up to 3–4 pounds. Red and black are the key colors. Other anglers have been tossing big glide baits and hooking into giants (a couple 5-7 pounders were recently caught this way on the North Lake).

Crappie action has been good in the center lake on small white jigs and mini swimbaits. Catfish can be caught on garlic prawns or chicken livers (Carolina rig).

If you're going for action and don't care about the species, throw out a big nightcrawler and either soak it or slow-drag it on the bottom. Some quality tilapia, bass, and catfish have all been caught this way recently.

Water temps have dipped a bit since last week, and the fish are responding... especially the stripers. The last week has seen big blowups all around the lake, with some folks reporting bites on "every other cast." White or pearl has been the color, as these fish are fully keyed in on shad. Walking baits, swimbaits and jerkbaits are all working for fish in the 2-5 pound range.

Largemouth are also biting well, with many keying in on shad too. Big glidebaits have landed a 6-plus and an 8-plus pounder over the last few weeks. Dark-colored creature baits thrown tight to cover are also getting 1-2 pound fish.

Redear and bluegill are being caught in the backs of coves on red worms. The smaller ones linger near the surface... aim deeper for some hand-sized giants.
