Where the fish are today
86% Good chance for striped bass today · 4–30 ft deep
- Water 70°F on top, right in their comfort range.
- Best water today is 4–30 ft deep, mostly on open water over the deep basin.
- The lake is layered: warm water down to about 40 ft, cold below.
- Little oxygen below about 65 ft, so fish stay above it.
- South wind at 16 mph pushes bait onto the north shore: try the wind-blown banks.
Best zone: open water, about 9% of them, 32–36 ft deep (the fish on the map above).
