Current water levels are at 870.75 and dropping to 870.56 by Sunday morning. Crankbaits, Texas Rigs or Tightline Jigs have been our go to. We found a couple of good bass flipping laydowns near deep water. I was told anglers are still catching a few nice Walleye can be caught trolling crankbaits or drifting minnows/crawler harnesses on flats and in the river. Water temperatures range from 71 to 74 degrees.

Normandy is starting to fish really good. For you Livescopers you can go scan around any major point and there will be plenty of bass. Although the best points are when you find bass that are actively feeding when we went, we ran into a school feeding and caught 10 bass in a matter of 30 minutes. For you old school bank beaters it’s hard to beat a red crankbait on flats next to deep water. You will catch most in the morning when they are pulling up to feed but there’s still a few fish to be had throughout the day. Hope you have tightlines.

Keep an eye on the habitat that TWRA and TN Bass Nation put out the last couple years… those stake beds are holding fish. Try throwing top water early and switching up to Texas Rigs or Tightline Jigs as the sun comes up. Flipping wood, the river channels with creature baits and finesse worms continued to produce this week. We found several really nice bass using Carolina rigs at the end of points in 15 to 18 feet of water. Walleye can be caught trolling crankbaits or drifting minnows/crawler harnesses on flats and in the river. I’m being told the Crappie slowed up, but you can still catch them around brush in the river in 15 to 18 foot of water. Water temperatures range from 87 to 89 degrees.
