Bartlett is very low, 45-percent full on Tuesday. Some areas are not recognizable from the previous year of high water. Bass are in the summer mode for the most part -- small bass are very active around rock stringers on the main lake.


Some top-water action before the sun got above the horizon, again mostly small (less than 1 pound.) We caught 20 total between 5 a.m. and noon, the largest of which was 1-pound, 11 ounces. Regardless, a beautiful morning for fishing, and we were done before it got too hot!


Went to the Eastern Canal to see if what would bite, caught several small Common Carp and some large White Amurs on bread and corn.
