BASS
Anglers are catching few bass between 2-10 pounds. The bass are in the 30-35 ft range. Drop shotting purple, green, and pink colored plastics works best for catching bass. Also try using bluegill pattern tackle to lure them in. Senko's and creature baits are also the go-to bait! Rob Phelps of Hemet caught a 9.91 pound bass on a shell cracker!


STRIPER
Anglers have been seeing stripers but unable to get them on the hook. Try using cut bait, and bluegill look alike lures since they have been going after the little bluegills all over the lake.


CATFISH
The catfish bite is still on! Stink bait, cut bait and night crawlers work best for catfish.


PANFISH
Bluegill are all over the place! Anglers are still catching nice ones on night crawlers, mini jigs and mealworms. Hoyt Curtis of Sun City caught a nice 2.12 pound redear on a night crawler.


TROUT
There were no reports of trout caught this week. Typical bait for trout is Powerbait, night crawlers and mini jigs.
