Anglers reported good fishing at Hart Park with bass and bluegill biting well. Slab sized bluegill have been eating redworms and waxworms near the floating lily pads. A simple set up using a bobber, a one-to-three-foot leader, and a small hook has been fooling the hungry sunfish. Largemouth anglers reported up to 10 fish days while using drop shot and Senko style baits. Brown and dark green have been a good place to start for color choices. Kayak anglers reported higher numbers of bass. Catfish anglers baited their hooks with Triple S dip bait and chicken liver for decent results.
