Channel and blue catfish fair to good on cut baits at 10-20 ft deep at Platter Flats north of the highway 70 bridge and south of Washita Point. Crappie and sunfish has been slow with some fish being caught in the coves at 5-10 ft. on minnows and jigs near the fishing docks and fish attractors. Boaters should use extreme caution both at the ramps and while operating on the lake due to the low lake elevation many new objects are exposed and some of the ramps are very shallow for launching.
