The bass that have been in the 10’ to 15’ zone started to perk up a bit by the end of the week and were reported to be biting drop shot, and jigs. The deeper fish (40’ to 60’) seemed to completely shut off. Visuals on catfish have been on the increase most of them sighted in toll road and the chimney. The only one caught was a 15 pounder by Nino Bonventre of Santee. Bonventre used his “secret catfish bait” on #40 braid to tame that fat blue cat. Panfish were MIA last week.
