The bite in August is really sporadic. My best trip recently was trolling crankbaits mid day and we put 43 fish in the boat in 4 hours from 11:30-3:30. The best bite on live bait has been in the evening right before dark with some large schools of big fish showing up and having more than one fish on at a time hasn't been uncommon.

Live shad have been really effective on early morning trips with some really big fish being caught. Trolling crankbaits has been working all day long and the white bass have been on fire and there's been a great topwater bite early morning for them.

Our Guide was Bob Angelo on our Percy Priest trip. I new because of the excessive heat we have had that. The bite would be tough and Bob mentioned that when we talked. I told him I new the hot days would make the bite tough but that myself and our 10 yr old grandson's other Grandpaw just wanted our fella to experience landing some fish and to target the most likley to bite! Bob Angelo set us up for trolling and in our 4 hr trip our grandson landed 6 nice white bass and missed 2 or 3 more.
It was all about introducing our grandson to the outdoors and fishing and Bob Angelo made sure that happened with the full trip focused on our grandson!
Thanks Captain Bob!
Also was Xaviers 1st time on a boat!
