FIGHTIN DA BLUES GUIDE SERVICE reports Lake Monticello is good in August for big blues. Drifting deep humps and ledges with big baits will be the best bet. There is also some big white perch to be caught on the shallower humps that top out at 15 to 20 foot. The channel cats on Lake Greenwood will be in the bigger feeder creeks off the main lake in the morning and then at the mouth of the creeks as the day heats up. Drifting in and out of the creeks with cut bait will work the best. "The weather is hot but the white perch action is just as hot in the summer on Greenwood. 100 to 200+ fish can be caught in no time. Give Fightin Da Blues a call to learn how to join the WPCA...... White Perch Control Association to help control these over populating little boogers." For more information visit my website www.fightindablues.com.
