BV anglers reported fair fishing last week with catfish and sunfish continuing to be the best bets. Catfish anglers found biters in both lakes with dip bait, garlic scented nightcrawlers, and cut baits all fooling fish. Bluegill anglers used redworms, mealworms, and waxworms to land plenty of the pan sized sunfish, and crappie fell for small live shiners and minijigs over submerged rocky structure. Bass anglers fooled largemouth with wacky rigged weightless Senkos in Green Pumpkin and baitfish colors. Bass also fell for white spinnerbaits cast parallel to weed lines.
