White Bass
Fishing is on fire for Sand Bass / White Bass. Hot spots include Honey Creek, the islands around Sailboat Bridge, the Bernice area by the bridge, Goat Island, Sweetwater and Vann. Patricia Island and the mouth of Honey Creek at Fifth and Boston should be good too. With wind and current, fish are often shallower; early and late they sit shallow, and mid-day they move out, suspending or sitting on tops of underwater islands. A solid report from Horse Creek past the unfinished bridge: early morning White Bass were tearing up the point between Fly Creek and Horse Creek. Get out early.
Haydn's pattern
Haydn has been using swimming minnows on Tie2 jig heads for a fast reaction bite deep. A quarter-ounce Tie2 on top down to a quarter-ounce regular Fish Lucke head (half an ounce of weight) with 2½-inch swimming minnows, reeled across the bottom. Blade baits and those swimming-minnow setups are working best; he hasn't leaned on Dinner Spinners yet this week.
Bass
Anglers cranking the banks with square-bill crankbaits (including Fish Lucke squarebaits) are catching nice Bass. At The Landings last night, Bass anglers coming in talked about catching fish on those squarebaits while a big school of White Bass surfaced right in the slips and around the gas pumps.
Paddlefish
Some anglers are still catching Paddlefish, targeting them with live scope / forward-facing sonar.
Crappie
Looks like a bumper crop of 9- to 9½-inch Crappie. On brush piles you may catch five to ten 9-inch fish before a keeper. Population feels a little down this year (typical boom-bust), but by late summer those fish should push 10 inches, and by next spring 10½ toward 11. Spawn looked good: water didn't fluctuate crazy after a late cold front, and a lot of Crappie likely stayed on the banks after people gave up on the bank bite.
