Fish Report for 7-12-2024

Fishing was decent at Hart Park

7-12-2024
Chad Burton and Chris Borden

Fishing was decent at Hart Park with several reports of better grade bass taking weedless frogs and poppers during the coolest parts of the day and night. Texas rigs and Senko style baits worked to fool fish near the floating weed beds. Crappie were reported near the inlet and bluegill ate redworms under a bobber. Catfish took the occasional bait rig with cut baits, dip bait, and hot dog chunks stuck on the hook.
