BASS
DVL bass fishing has been top notch. The best anglers have been reporting 20 fish days, but the catches have been running small, between 2 and 3 pounds. Drop shot rigged worms in oxblood, prism shad, and morning dawn, fat Ikas in watermelon or green pumpkin, and Carolina rigged brush hogs have been reported as the best choices in plastics fished on the points. There have been some spinner bait reports from afternoon fishermen.

TROUT
Trout fishing has been slow with boaters reporting sporadic catches.

STRIPER
The big stripers are MIA, but the little guys have come out to play. Without the trout stocks look for shad. Kastmasters, Krocodiles, Needlefish, and scroungers are great shad baits. Jesse Mena of Hemet caught the biggest striper of the week at 22.95 pounds fishing with an LA Slider.

CATFISH
There were a lot of fat cats this week ranging between 6 and 16 pounds.

PANFISH
Bluegill are hot on the dams. Fish with worms or jigs for some great panfish.
