Bass bite has improved and largemouth are taking a variety of baits, from jigs to senkos and blades. Fish are still in the first ten feet of the water column.
Crappie are in the narrows, and trolling small roostertails helps to find the fish. Trolling mini jigs was also a good way to go.
Catfish action perked up as well, using cut mackerel in shallow coves resulted in cats to 6 lbs.
Bow fishing for Carp has been very good and double digit numbers were easily obtained in the narrows. Early morning was the best time as the buglemouths are feeding on the top.
Redear and bluegill were absent from the count this week.

Bass fishing was on the slow side as water temps sank to 63.5 degrees......
