I am a boat captain for my local high school fishing team. The 2 boys that fish with me qualified for the state tournament Aug 15 & 16 th. I have not fished there in the summer for over 20 years and am sure all this rain probably will not help. Can anyone give me an update on the water conditions and how the lake is fishing?
Water is running at 301.4 today and a little cloudy up lake. Fishing is very slow.
From a fishing report on Aug. 7
BUGGS ISLAND LAKE - Bass action has picked up in the past week. Some good fish are being taken by fishing red mud points with stumps. Long tapering points on islands are also producing fish on deep diving crankbaits and plastic grubs. Spinnerbaits, slow-rolled in shallow water, early in the mornings will take some fish
