Pyramid Lake remained near full pool with water temps holding near eighty degrees. Thick weeds covered most shorelines which provided plenty of cover for large and smallmouth bass. Anglers probed the weed bed holes and pockets with weedless finesse offerings. Weedless frogs and poppers took fish on the surface. Lipless crankbaits ripped along weed lines were another way to entice vicious strikes. Bass anglers also connected out deeper with finesse baits on main and secondary points. Striped bass ate cut sardines, anchovies, and live worms over main lake points. Shore anglers had to find areas that were clear of weeds to get chomped. Boat anglers fed striped bass in Yellowbar and near Freeway Cove. Catfish anglers rigged up Carolina style with chicken liver at the inlet and in Tin Cup.
