Ming was scheduled to get stocked with Trout this week, but we haven’t confirmed it. When they do get stocked, I would expect the bite to be identical to Riverwalk since the fish are coming from the same hatchery. The standard has been minijigs, Power Bait, garlic scented crawlers, and Kastmasters. The bass fishing is the same, slow to fair with most of the fish on the smaller side. Soft plastics on the drop shot or Carolina rig worked slowly have been most successful. Catfish continue to show on cut baits, dip bait, and worms. The crappie bite has been very good the last couple of weeks in the late afternoon with minijigs and live minnows.
