Fishing was fair at Hart Park last week, but it’s always a fun local fishing option. Anglers can catch bass, catfish, bluegill, and the occasional crappie at Hart Park. Another great option is to fish the river which is within walking distance of the lake. We run a weekly report for the lower Kern as well. Bass anglers have been using topwater and weedless plastics to get bite, and most of the bass can be found in or near the weed beds at this time of year. Catfish will eat nightcrawlers, dip bait, chicken liver, and cut baits like sardines, anchovies, or mackerel. A Carolina rig is the perfect setup for the whisker fish. Sunfish are readily available for anglers fishing with a bobber. Simply hook any live worm or small live minnow about two feet below a bobber and toss your bait near the weed beds or a submerged bush. The bluegill can’t resist live worms, and if you’re lucky a good size crappie or even a chunky bass might just take the bait.
