Where the fish are today
72% Good chance for striped bass today · 6–24 ft deep
- Water 63°F on top, a bit cool for them, so they feed in the warmest water they can find.
- Best water today is 6–24 ft deep, mostly on channel edges.
- The lake is layered: warm water down to about 35 ft, cold below.
- Little oxygen below about 50 ft, so fish stay above it.
- Northwest wind at 15 mph pushes bait onto the southeast shore: try the wind-blown banks.
Best zone: channel edge, about 9% of them, 22–26 ft deep (the fish on the map above).
