Pan fish, especially bluegill, are hitting big time this last week off of worms in the coves. Catfish are doing well in the grassy areas. Most Red Ear, I have heard are being caught this last weekend, some up to 2 pounds plus off of worms as well. Crappie has been slow and bass is still active on various baits in different areas of the lake.
