Anglers reported good fishing at Hart Park with big holiday crowds putting a lot of fishing pressure on the lake. Bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill were all fooled by anglers. Largemouth took chatter baits, creature baits, and finesse baits near weed beds and out in deeper water. A few crappie were reported by anglers using live worms, and bluegill ate any live worm floated near the weeds. Catfish anglers caught whisker fish on chicken liver, dip bait, and hot dog pieces.
