No new update- Catfish and Bass seems to be the most common catch! Check out these spots locations: Harvey's Cove {Bass and Catfish}, Sweet-water Bay [Trout], Clark's cove [Trout], Johnson Bay [Large Mouth], Santa Cruz Bay [Catfish] and Bobcat's cove [catfish]. Unfortunately, for those that may want to fish for Trout, the fishing is still slow. They are about 100-120 feet from surface, so add either a split shot or a egg sinker to achieve the necessary depth. For Crappie [not sighted], neon green or a generally neon jig have been proven most effective. Futhermore, utilizing either night crawlers [garlic] or Mackerel has been the bait trend for Catfish. Rainbow Trout Rapalas or rubber worms/shad or white crank bait or black and yellow Panther Martins have been effective for Large and Smouth Mouth Bass Side note: Shore fishing has been slow, so if possible have or rent a boat for better catch results. Check out 805 webcam for: weather conditions and scenic views.
