The bass bite has been heating up this week with report of fish being caught on reaction baits such as jerkbaits and spinnerbaits. Although catfish season is over, I am still getting many reports of fish being caught on mackerel and shrimp.

Popular spots for catfish include the west side of Lake 1 and the South side of Lake 5.
