At Ming Lake bass are showing in the grass lines with chatterbaits and spinnerbaits. Lipless crankbaits, shallow jerkbaits in shad or bluegill pattern have been scoring. Chatterbaits in white and chartreuse or just plain white are working in the mornings. White buzzbaits in the early hours have been a good option as well. Crappie are more active later in the day with minijigs and live shiners. Whiskerfish can be found with cut baits and SSS dip bait. Bluegill are still chewing at a good pace on wax, meal and red worms.
