Bluegill have been the best bet for Hart Park anglers. On warmer days the bluegill ate redworms, waxworms, and mealworms under a bobber. A small baited hook and a bobber is all that is required to put a smile on a young anglers face. Simply toss your offering near a bush or the floating weed beds and the bluegill will do the rest. Catfish took chicken liver, fresh shrimp, and dough bait soaked on the bottom, and bass anglers reported fair fishing on finesse baits. Texas rigged six inch plastic worms with a very slow retrieve got some bites.
