Weather was cold and wet all week and more rain is expected throughout the week. Catfish are biting on mackerel and catfish bait. Deeper water at the bottom is where it is happening. The bass are biting in 20 feet of water and mainly hitting crank baits and drop shot rigs. We are still waiting for the crappie to start up. Bluegill is slow with meal worms reported best. Trout is slow as well.
