Fish Are Biting
Stripers are hanging about 80′ deep in the mid bay or mid channel. For stripers: Drop spoons, stump jumpers or swim baits to get the schools going. Tough to fish for right now with storms passing through. They are hugging the bottom. Crappie are being caught with cold temps. Search tree lines in 10′ of water. Use black, while or yellow crappie jigs. Got questions? Give me a call …Questions are “free”…. Bill McBurney 928.606.0933
