The A-rig bite is the best bite on the lake and its working two ways. First way is to look for fish suspended 20-30’ deep around trees on bluff ends or actively around groups of shad. The second way is to throw the A-rig in the same places you would throw a wiggle wart or rock crawler (see below).  It seems smaller shad-colored baits are better on the outer rigs and a larger shad swimbait in a slightly darker color with a chartreuse tail is better on the center rig.

When targeting more isolated fish the damiki/swimbait is working better. The reason for this is to be more precise with the cast. Key on either fish that are chasing shad or higher in the water column. The fish are either just in or just out of the mouth of the creeks. The fish that are higher in the water column are actively feeding fish and more catchable. These fish are also moving fast and can be a challenge to stay with during the day. Use shad-colored swimbaits and Damiki rigs. One of the best ways to continue to catch fish is to keep moving and looking for new fish to target. Plan on being on the trolling motor and looking at the FFS screen all day.

There is a Rock Crawler bite, but it isn’t easy. Look for 45˚ banks that have good mixed rock. Some rocks are as big as basketball all the way down to gravel or good clearly defined rock transitions. Cover as much water as possible and keep grinding. If you are fishing with a buddy, have them throw the A-rig. Keep the boat in 15’ of water and cast more 30˚ towards the banks instead of long parallel to the bank casts. If the fish are suspended, they will eat the A-rig if on the bottom they will eat the Rock Crawler. Don’t expect a lot of bites but they are quality fish.
