Striped bass ate cut sardines and jumbo live minnows after check gates

Chad Burton and Chris Borden
Striped bass ate cut sardines and jumbo live minnows after check gates. Zebras were also reported by anglers throwing jerkbaits and flukes on a jig head during low light conditions. Largemouth took stick baits and finesse baits in the eddies before and after check gates. Outtake grates and bridge pylons have been good places to look as well. Catfish anglers did well with dip baits, chicken liver, and cut baits.
