The Bass bite has been fair to good at Ming with an occasional quality fish coming on trout imitation swimbaits. Anglers have scored bass on drop shot with curly tale green pumpkin worms. In the early hours and late afternoon jigs and topwater are working. Crappie have been coming on minijigs and small crankbaits. The bluegill bite is very good on worms under a bobber. Carp can be found with dough baits.
