Catfish still going strong, and several limits were reported last week. Mackerel has been the best offering, followed by packaged dough baits. The cats seem to be all over the lake, but Sweetwater Bay was hands down the most productive spot, with fish to 8 lbs. weighed in at the marina.

Bass fishing has been inconsistent, but the cooling temps brought the largies up tight to the shoreline cover in the early AM, and were later found suspended around the river channel and main lake points. Texas rigs, lipless crank, blades and drop shot rigs all worked for both species. Seasoned crappie anglers did well but were tight lipped about both baits and locations.

Bluegill are still in the very backs of coves in the tules, and can be taken with red worms, meal worms, and gulp maggots. Carp still haven't been showing much, and the same can be said about the trout. Look for plants to begin sometime next month.
