There has been some decent top water action on bass early, and both largemouth and smallmouth are hitting buzz baits, spoons and poppers. The PM bite has been fair on spinnerbaits, spoons and texas rigged plastics.

Bow fishing for Carp has steadily improved over the past 2 weeks, and are back in shallow coves. Crappie and all other panfish were slow this past week.
