The luck is turning around out here. Starting to hear about limits reached and pregnant bass in the shallows. Lot of talk about the color silver for hard plastic lures. Go for a smaller size as well. Really nice sized crappie being filleted but no one is willing to give up a location. A 17lb. Catfish was brought in the other day using mackerel. One or two redder have been caught indication the begging of a good season.

Crappie were found by a few different people and the ones they did catch were over 1lb. drop shot or wacky rig on the bottom with a roboworm or a power worm has work. Also white ice plastic swimsuit. ...... Read More

Camping has opened up with no restrictions. Marina is renting baits and kayaks if interested. ...... Read More
