Striped Bass: Try bringing fresh anchovy or sardines down near the buoy line. Fly lining chunks of bait has been pretty effective for anglers. A few stripers have also been picked off using nightcrawler throughout the lake. 

Bluegill: As usual your best bet for catching panfish is to use crickets or pieces of worm tipped onto a minijig. Once fired up they will east a plain jigs as well. 

Catfish: Not many fish being reported lately but expect the socking of catfish to commence in the near future.

Largemouth Bass: Solid numbers of quality bass being reported by regular boat renters. Great results using a soft plastics paddle tails with a underpin if available. Also for beginner anglers decent fish have been taken on plastic worms especially Senkos. 

Trout: No action

Carp: No action
