Fish Report for 7-8-2022

The bass bite really improved last week

7-8-2022
Chad Burton and Chris Borden

The bass bite really improved last week, and anglers used a variety of baits to land fish. Most of the bass have been holding in heavy cover. Punching gear was one of the best techniques for coaxing bites. Anglers also used Texas rigs and weightless Senkos for bites along weed line edges. Weedless frogs fooled bass in the mornings and evenings. Bluegill ate any live worm, and there were no reports for other species.
