BASS
Soft plastics were the top choice for bass fisherman this week. The drop shot or Texas rig were at the forefront of reports this week. 4" worms in green or purple worked great for the drop shot rig, and brushog's and lizards in variations of green pumpkin or watermelon were great for those using the Texas rig. 5" Senkos in watermelon are always a mainstay. Jigs also picked up some nice bass this week. The Swimbait bite has tapered, but bluegill baits are worth the effort bringing in some big bass this week. Shellcrackers and Mattlures were the most reported swimbaits with most of those catches occurring within the first 15 feet of water.

TROUT
It was a slow week for tout fishing. There were some notable fish this week, but over all quantities were low. Nightcrawlers, spinners, mini jigs, Powerbait, and trout worms have been the best baits to use. Along the west shoreline, and in the marina cove were the best reported spots this week.

STRIPER
Striper were sluggish this week. The Z plug 400 series, white swimbaits, were some successful lures, but anchovies accounted for most of the striper catches. The inlet tower and the east dam were the most reported striper spots.

CATFISH
Cats are up in the shallows biting on anchovies, mackerel and shrimp. The marina cove the eucalyptus trees the wave attenuator and near the rock quarry are all great spots for catfish.
