Fish the islands in Catfish, and Braywood point as well.

On Eagle fish Stony Point, and the mouth of Eagle and Scattering Rice.

Scattering Rice, fish the back where the river and stumps are.

Black reef hawgs, jerkos as well as sucker and perch colored twitch baits are working well. Don't over look the baby bulldawg either, all black.

That should help!

Mike had a good report to start with. I can add a few things to try also.

Look for fish where the channels dump into Catfish and where it dumps into Eagle. We had numerous active fish chasing Reef Haws and Undertakers. Walleye color worked the best for us.

Plenty of action on small bucktails and small cranks also. Baby Bepth Raiders and Mepps worked also.

Cranberry had plenty of active fish Friday last week and some nice fish were reported by a few friends that fished the island and small islands close to the river on the back side.

I would try top water as the water warms into the low 70's.

Most of the feeding windows were small last weekend. Pick your best spots when the time comes. Used the majors/minors for your prime times. Check out new spots between the prime times.

Good luck, sitck a pig.........

Just buy a Hot Spots Map when you get up here, Guide's Choice should have one for you.

They are cheap, waterproof and well worth the money.
