Rock House Marina, (540) 980-1488. Contributed by Mike Burchett:

Bass: The weather has got HOTTER and slowed down the bass bite tremendously. The bass have moved deeper. A drop shot with a 4 ½ inch Roboworm is the best bet to entice the deep non-aggressive bass. A 3/8 ounce Paca Bug Football finesse jig combined with a Paca chunk in any green pumpkin color combo is also a good lure for a slow deep presentation. You can still get a few quality bites in the grass. If the grass is topped out and thick, the Tru-Tungsten Mad Maxx frog is a good bet. If the grass is still below the surface try a small crank bait like the Lucky Craft B.D.S. Marty or S.K.T. Mini. Try ticking the top of the grass and getting a reaction bite. Accent lures double bladed buzz-bait has tricked a few bass also. After dark try slow rolling a Jolt spinnerbait or dark colored chatterbait. Our weekly Tuesday night tournament at the Rock House Marina was won by Ralph Jones and Chris Eads with 8.68 lbs. For more info on the Tuesday night tournaments call Mike at (540) 980-1488.

Crappie: Haven't heard or seen anything on crappies.

Bluegill/Panfish: Get some night crawlers and head to any dock or back of a cove and you find plenty of action and fun.

Stripers: Stripers are being caught up lake at the mouth of Clapboard hollow and the stump fields by trolling umbrella rigs with bucktails or swim baits. At the mouth of Dublin Hollow and around the Dam area of the lake from approximately 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. the shad are up on the surface. Walking a Storm Thunderstick or Cotton Cordell Redfin across the surface can lead to exciting top water activity.

Catfish: Starting hear a few reports that they are being caught at night time in peak creak using live shad as bait.

The water is clear and in the low to mid 80s.
