Catfish still on the chew, and can be found in the backs of coves and cuts throughout the lake. Best baits are mackerel, doughbaits, and dip baits. The Kitties are coming in from as little as 1' of water in the muddier bays such as Santa Cruz. Smallmouth bass have been taking reaction baits off of main lake points early and late, and during the midday drop shot and small jigs have been getting bit. Largemouth seem to have taken the week off, with only a handful of legal fish checked in at the marina. Carp still available along the bank and in coves for those who wish to target them. Other than a few small crappie, all other species were absent from the count.
