Catfish was the top bite yet again this week. Shore fishermen did well around the marina while boaters reported a nice array of 1-3 pounders. Mackerel, nightcrawlers, and even little chunks of hot dogs were successful in attracting the channel cats. Surprisingly, chicken liver was not. The smallmouth bass were a little more active in the morning around Cachuma Bay point and seemed to stop biting in the afternoon. Cranks and curly tail jigs were the most popular baits used. Additionally, a few good sized carp were hooked up on by fishermen floating worms off the bottom in Mohawk Bay and are always a great fight.
