Smallmouth Bass Tips for Current Conditions:
With Wheeler Lake at 51 degree water temperature this is a great time to get out on the water and try hitting some deeper primary and secondary points.

On Sunny warm afternoons its a great time to throw a crank bait, jigs or slow roll a spinnerbait at 5-10 foot on sunny points and drops off of sunny flats. Smallmouth Bass will move into warm water on warm sunny days.

Wheeler Lake Crappie Fishing
Wheeler Lake Crappie Tips: [ Add Tip ]
- 4/1/2012 crappie bit on fish back water 5 to 6 feet try to mix up colors . stumps also holding good numbers
Crappie Tips for Current Conditions:
Crappie should be getting ready to spawn. Stay out in deeper water and look for schools. Schooling shad will be harder to find with this water temperature so when you find it, stay on it. Crappie schools will be breaking up quite a bit getting ready for the spawn. Also try fishing shallower with small crank baits and spinners on the warm banks with direct sunlight. This is a great time to be on the water.

Wheeler Lake Catfish Fishing
Wheeler Lake Catfish Tips: [ Add Tip ]
- some friends of ours caught some monster catfish (monster in size and in looks) where the Elk River hits the TN River. size wise they were in the 60 lbs range.
Catfish Tips for Current Conditions:
The catfish family comprises of blue catfish, flathead catfish and channel catfish. Since catfish are warm water fish, they aren’t going to be very active in this water temperature. They will still be feeding, but catfish will only be found very deep and feeding very slowly. Your best bet is give some of the more active fish species in your lake a shot until the cats are active again.

Wheeler Lake Solar and Lunar Conditions
Current Lunar Fishing Tip:
The full moon is right around the corner. The gravitational pull is starting to increase with the moon and sun being on opposite sides of the planet. Watch the peak fishing times and make sure you are on the water during that part of the day to take full advantage of today's solar/lunar peaks. It's always fun trying something new at the peak times to change things up a bit and test out the Lunar Theory each time you hit the water in close to full and full moon situations. Good luck you there.
