FAIR. Water stained; 48 degrees; 0.18 feet below pool. Expect the water temperature to drop a couple degrees during this next cold front. Stripers are fair in 20-40 feet of water with live bait, or deadsticking with pink jig heads with fluke tails. If deadsticking, stay still and let the fish come to you. Hold your rod still and set the hook at the slightest hint of a bite. If using live bait, put your baits in the water and just slowly move around until you catch a fish. Once you catch a fish, stay there for a little bit and try to catch a few more. Sandbass are fair. Look for them in 20-40 feet of water with live shad. Some can be caught using small deadstick baits, too. Catfish are still fair to good up the river near Rock Creek Camp. Cut shad is producing good numbers of fish in 2-5 feet of water fished on or near the bottom. Some people like to use cut carp and Buffalo and have good luck with that. It might be worth a try if no other fresh bait is available. Water clarity is steady at 1-8 feet of visibility and slightly stained. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service. Bass slow but will bite when located. Bottom baits such as jigs and bottom bumping crank baits. Bass biting from deep to shallow depths following shad movement. Located in typical winter locations.
