Big paddlefish are still being caught in the Jackson Bay area of the main lake. Keep trolling humps and channels around points and structure for white bass. Water flow below the dam has been more consistent, keeping schooling hybrids, white bass, and stripers around. The sunfish bite is still phenomenal!
