Daily fishing verdict · 2026-07-28
Storms likely today; water's murky and oxygen stays low.
The 24h DO has barely budged — sitting between 2.9 and 3.7 mg/L all day — so smallmouth are under real stress with no meaningful afternoon recovery window to lean on. Water's at 71°F and drifting murkier, which doesn't help. A 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms is on the way, so if you're considering going out, weigh that carefully; conditions may or may not improve behind the front.
