Small shallow diving crank baits and rattle traps are slaying the bass bite with the spawn and shad run currently. The trout bite has picked up tremendously.

Flicker shad rattling crank baits sold in the marina store are still working for the trout and bass bite.

The crappie bite is picking up as well in the back towards the narrows, and slabs over 16 plus inches being caught right now using Atomic teasers and Chartruese with a white tail are working well ( also sold at the Marina Store). Come check out the new bait wall!! New items in stock! Store now open 7AM-5PM for all your needs. Closed Tuesday-Wednesday.
