Largemouth were still biting as well off of dark plastics along the reed lines early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Cats are still a bit shy, but some are starting to bite around Ramp #2 and the Inlet, mackerel seems to be the top bait for them. Carp seem to be fairly busy in the reed lines as well, hitting worms and dough balls
