Striped Bass: Anchovies, sardines or cut bait down by the buoy line and inlet area will work best for these beauties, nightcrawlers are also working well this past week.

Bluegill: On the slower side this past week. Far and few between but still some anglers have gotten lucky. Mini jigs tipped with a mealworm or crickets are still the most productive way.

Catfish: Catfish have been slow, however Catfish stocking should start. Use chicken liver, anchovies, mackerel and nightcrawlers on the bottom throughout the lake but Ramp 2.

Largemouth Bass: slow this past week for largemouth. Jerk baits are still very effective currently for active fish.

Trout: No trout
