The hot bass bite cooled a bit by the end of the week, but overall fishing has still been productive. Largemouth have been taking senkos, jigs, spinnerbaits, and chatterbaits wherever there is a sharp grass line. As far as panfish, red ear went on the chew, and several anglers checked in quality fish to 2lbs. Red worms fished off the docks north of the marina was the hot location, although several others came from unknown spots by the rental fleet. Crappie have been tougher to find, but the slabs being caught are in the 1Ib to 2.51b range. Catfish have been taking cut mackerel, and 'crawlers shallow coves, and flats.
