ALL LIVE BAIT FISH AND CRAYFISH ARE PROHIBITED!
-
Carp - These fish are being caught on a more regular basis while anglers are looking for meatier fair.
-
Bass - Bass in numbers and size have improved large this week. John Knoebel says he was shaking after working to keep then release his first double digit Large-mouth. There was ten pounds of happiness for John. Brain Fansher, Campo, was here again this week bringing up and letting go smaller sizes in various locals with Senko. Down near the Dam Mike Fallon, Santee got a hold of an 8lb 5ozer with a T-rig. A bass Club was here last weekend and had good showings with the three top weights of First 8.2, Second 7.8 and Third 6.4. Well done Gentlemen.
-
Blue Gill - No Pan fish were reported this week.
-
Crappie - The crappies have moved away from shore and have been found in the deeper waters near the Dam.
-
Catfish - The cats are on the prowl. Cabin cove has really been a fine spot for a most of our species, especially cats. Verbal reports came in about some Blue cats and Channel cats being wrangled from the warmer waters of Cabin cove.
-
Trout - Nothing new except the weather keeping anglers way in droves. But the buoy line and up through Paradise cove continues to shine as the go-to area for the Rainbows. Of course Geezer cove was still a hot spot along with areas around Cabin cove. And just trolling trough the deeper middle near the buoy line was providing results. Green-sparkle Powerbait, Garlic Powerbait, Nightcrawlers, Rapalas-regular and small, Kastmasters were your best bet. Nancy Greene, Alpine fooled a stringer of 12lbs with the largest being 6lbs 12oz. She must have a secret spot.
