Chad Burton and Chris Borden
Lake Success fell to 71 percent of capacity and fishing has been decent. Largemouth anglers used stick baits, jigs, and Carolina rigs to fool fish in 5 to 20 feet of water. Chatterbaits and under spins also fooled fish when slow rolled along the bottom. A few anglers reported topwater bass near the submerged trees early in the day. Crappie anglers used small live minnows and crappie jigs tipped with crappie nibbles for some good results, and catfish anglers fooled fish with chicken liver, cut baits, and dip bait.
