The lake is up and the water temperature is 71 degrees. There are Largemouth bass biting everywhere in the lake. The best spots seem to be along the Tules in all of the arms. Crankbaits have been very productive in the early morning hours and drop shotting four inch grape plastic worms and shiners are effective throughout the day. There was also a report of some nice bluegill coming in down the San Carlos arm on meal worms.
