Lake level – 185.53 msl
Water Temperature – 56 +
Water Clarity – Clear to slight stain

Lake remains very low, navigation is safe in marked river and creek channels. Use extreme caution when traveling to cover areas when crossing shallows.

Bass are hitting heavy spoons jigged over deep cover. Jig’s worked over deep cover are also working. Slow presentations are the trick as the water cools down and fish become more lethargic.

Crappie are good on trolled jig’s tipped with minnows. Setting up over drop’s with cover and fishing live minnows are working for those not set up for trolling. Night fishing around the causeways and bridges under lights is also getting hot.

Cats are slower now but still hitting worms fished on the bottom on the creek or river drops, especially near cover of trash piles.

Be sure and check out www.leekingbenefit.org , we have filled the first flight now and we have folks buying entry fee’s for grandchildren as Christmas gifts. Sigh up for our free news letter on the foundation site.

Merry Christmas, enjoy the outdoors God has given us to use and respect.

God Bless & Good Fishn’
