The bass bite continues to heat up with many reports of fish on soft plastics such as drop shots, senkos, and fat ikas. The catfish bite has been wide open with many reports of fish on shrimp in the early mornings and late evenings. Bluegill have been seen along the shoreline and hiding in weeds and in rock structures. Poplar baits for bluegill are meal worms and wax worms.
