Trout, trout and more trout. Powerbait and nightcrawlers are working by the marina, lots of shad around the dock and reports of large catfish in the afternoon/ evenings.

Bass fishing is starting to pick up each day, and there is no shortage of crappie, bluegill and redder!

There will be a delay on worm availably this week, so plan to bring your own just in case. Happy Fathers Day and happy fishing.
