BASS
The bass bite slowed down this week, but anglers are still catching some smaller bass between 3-4 pounds. Drop shotting plastics, nightcrawlers, and senkos are working best for bass. Anglers are catching the majority of the bass inside coves and near the dams.

STRIPER
There were few reports of striper being caught this week. The best areas to fish for striper are near the west dam, and around the inlet outlet tower. Fresh sardines and topwater lures are recommended for catching striper.

CATFISH
Anglers are catching many catfish between 5-7 pounds! Cut bait, night crawlers and stink bait work best for catfish.

PANFISH
The panfish bite is still on! There were many reports of panfish being caught near the dams. Mealworms, night crawlers and jigs are recommended for catching panfish.

TROUT-
There were no reports of trout caught this week. Nightcrawlers, rooster tails, kastmasters and bait covered in Lip Ripperz hatchery dust work best for trout. The best time to fish for trout is after a stock.
