Reports remained consistent over the past week. Catfish have been hitting on anchovies, chicken liver and shrimp. Working the backs of coves at night will produce the best results. Shad can be found in coves during the early morning hours and can be very effective for striped bass. The best striper fishing has been taking place at first light with anglers using cut baits or swimbaits. Spinnows or Jumpin' Minnows also have been working well.
