    Here is an example of taking 2 weeks of fishing reports plugged into AI:

    Take it with a grain of salt, and you truly need to read every one so you don’t miss something.

    It just works to summarize a few weeks into trends to give you that 1,000 ft high level few into what is going on.

    1. Shallow Water Success – Many anglers are reporting bites in shallower water, especially in the mornings or on warmer days. Fish are moving onto flats, shorelines, and shallow cover like grass and wood.

    2. Feeder Creeks & Cuts Are Productive – Fish are being found in feeder creeks and cuts, likely chasing bait or responding to water movement. These areas seem to be holding more active fish.

    3. Structure is Key – Anglers are having success fishing around rock, wood, docks, and brush piles, indicating that fish are relating to hard cover rather than open water.

    4. Baitfish Presence Matters – Many reports suggest that areas with visible baitfish activity are producing the best bites. If no bait is present, the fish are less active.

    5. Afternoon Bite Can Be Better – Some anglers mention that fishing picks up later in the day, possibly due to water temperature rising or fish becoming more active.

    Challenges & Ineffective Approaches:

    1. Deep Water is Hit or Miss – Some anglers are struggling with deeper fish. While some catches are happening in deep ledges or creek channels, others report that deep fish are hard to locate or inactive.

    2. Cold Fronts & Weather Changes Are Hurting Bites – Sudden temperature drops and changing conditions seem to negatively affect the bite, pushing fish into less predictable patterns.

    3. Clear Water Can Make Fishing Tougher – In clearer water, some anglers are struggling to get bites, possibly due to fish being more cautious or pressured.

    Overall Trends:

    • Fish are generally moving shallower and feeding more in creeks, cuts, and around structure.

    • Baitfish presence is a major factor—if there’s no bait, the bite is slow.

    • Weather changes are affecting patterns, making some days better than others.

    • Deep water isn’t consistently producing, and shallow-to-mid-depth areas seem to be better.
