The bass bite here just keeps on rolling, with most anglers reporting double digit numbers for their efforts. It's been mostly cookie cutter fish in the 1lb. to 2lb. range that have been scattered from 1' to 30' of water. Shallow fish have been biting flukes, small swimbaits, as well as some topwater. Deeper fish have been taking drop shot, ned rig, and shakey head. Bluegill action has slowed, probably due to heavy pressure over the past 3 weeks. Catfish were M.I.A. last week.

Water temperature: 76 degrees

There were some nice bluegill catches made as well, most of these falling for drop shotted nightcrawlers, red worms, and mealworms. As usual with the panfish, locations were closely guarded. Catfish went unreported...... Read More
