The catfish bite has remained consistent with many reports of fish caught on shrimp. The bass bite has slowed down due to the high heat, but anglers are still catching fish on soft plastics such as senkos and fat ikas. Bluegill have been seen along the shorelines searching for prey. Popular baits for bluegill include wax worms, meal worms, and red worms.
