CATFISH

Catfish are biting from the T-dock and in Cloister Cove on mackerel and night crawlers. The first catfish stocking of the season is this week with 2,000 lbs!

The Bait Shop is now stocking Bite-ON’s Catfish Mack Baits. These pre-cut mackerel chunks are marinated in a Cajun formula for extra stink. Catfish love it!

BASS

Anglers are catching bass along the Hermit Cove buoy line with a Texas rig setup. Both pearl white and dark colored plastic worms are landing fish. Water temperature is 70 degrees.
