The best bite seems to be later in the day when the water has warmed a bit, the bait fish\u00a0 are drawn into the shallow water in the late afternoons and the bass and other gamefish follow them. Remember bass can be caught around boulders and in brush lines on senko and spinnerbaits. Crappie can be found in and around the Yellow Cliffs and can best caught with 1\/16oz jigs and 2&#8243; Kalins slow trolling can work well . Catfish are becoming active.

Don\u2019t forget that drop shots can be effective as well with a 4-6 inch robo worms. Top water baits such as buzz baits, spooks and Pop-Rs can and will also produce fish.
