UPPER LAKE WATER TEMP: 75 - 80 degrees
LAGOON WATER TEMP: 75 - 78 degrees

The bite has gone into a slump for the past few days but they seem to be biting more in the early morning lately. Some stripers are showing up near Elizabeth Cyn, C-Point, and the cliffs off by the West Ramp. You can spot them boiling still and spooks, kastmasters and sammies are great baits for the boils. Sardines have been doing the best but night crawlers are still working pretty well. The night crawlers are still doing great for the largies and cats at both the upper and lower lakes. Largies, as usual can still be found off points and in the backs of the coves. Plastics are working great all day long in the fish arm and at the lagoon.

The night fishing at the lagoon has been fantastic for pan fish and bigger largemouth. The catfish are also biting cut bait and showing up quite a bit between all the striper anglers. The pan fish are still going after the crappie jigs and wax/meal worms.

Whopper of the week!
