The same pattern is still holding up, fly lined mackerel, packaged dough baits and chicken livers are still taking some quality fish to 8 lbs. Backs of coves, especially ones with creek channels have been the best locales. Bass fishing remains inconsistent, if you can find an active school, spooning has been the best way to target the largies and the smallies.

Bass fishing has been inconsistent, but the cooling temps brought the largies up tight to the shoreline cover in the early AM, and were later found suspended around the......
