Fished the narrows rom sun up till about noon or about ive keepers, All but two on carolina riged cinnamon brown 4inch worms. The other two on Shadraps. Aternoon moved into the main lake or two more the biggest 3.5 in about a two oot o water on a Shadrap. Only second time to this lake and I really like it.Anyone with some tips or this lake Please e-mail me, Thanks.

    Tips: Well I don't know about Carolina rigging in the big rocks, but it seemed to work better than jigs and texas rigged worms. Browns With neon blue, Crankbaits slow moving seems to do the trick....

    Report: irst time at the lake. nice lake. can't wait til it turns over or the winter.landed 2 spots and lost 5. white willow lea spinnerbait in the morning close to the shoreline. saw some ish on the electronics at 30+ eet. was only able to hook one ona spoon... small. didn't try it long enough. got a lot o pickups ona jig and pig but no big ones. tried PopR in the morning beore the sun came up...no takers. ound out aterwards that dragging a 4 inch worm or grub in deep waterwould have worked. my partner was the guide and was ishing too ast and not on the dropos. i'll haveto use a heavier jig next time. i'm going back in November when the crank bite is on. caught some small spots on a rattle trap.didn't get a single white bass.check out my website http://members.home.net/scy33613
    City: Fremont

    Tips: ish the shoreline in the morning shad pattern baits. you'llprobably need to hit the shore then drag it in with a slow roll toget a strike. ater 10am start looking or the drop os with a carolinarig or grub. the bass seem to be chasing shad more than crawdads.
