There was steady action around "E" point, the Mohawk area and Harvey's Bay on PowerBait, night crawlers and all types of spoons and spinners.

Catfish showed up in the courts in the backs of coves on mackerel and packaged dough bait. Bow fishing for Carp has been inconsistent but the best results are in the morning. So far, no sign of any spawning, but it could commence any day.
