The catfish bite remains consistent with many reports of fish being caught on mealworms and mackerel. The bass bite remains phenomenal with many reports of fish being caught on topwater baits such as frogs and buzzbaits. Bluegill have been seen along the shorelines in high numbers. Popular baits for bluegill include mealworms and wax worms.
