Forecast Contributor Nathan Rogers, Region III Creel ClerkObserved Species InformationBass: Fishing is getting better. Many anglers are finding fish in creeks and channels on drop-offs throwing finesse techniques such as dropshot, Texas, Shaky head, Damiki, and other soft plastic rigs. Some still target with live bait and attract some bits as well. When fishing water with low visibility, throwing brighter colors and baits with flair garnered some bites.Crappie: Fishing is fair. Crappie are still being found in creeks in shallow water but also found in deeper channels as well. Rocky banks with shallow submerged structure are where most anglers are finding fish. Try throwing Bobby Garland style jigs or live minnows. Trolling creeks is also still a good practice.Striped Bass: Fishing is slow. Anglers are fishing below the dam in current with skipjack/shad as bait. The bite is slow, but anglers are still reeling in quality size striper.
