Fishing was fair last week, but a few anglers did report some good days of fishing too. Bass anglers used drop shot techniques to fool largemouth with four-inch curly tailed worms in Aaron’s magic and green pumpkin working well. Anglers also fooled bass with white spinnerbaits cast parallel to the cattails and reeds. Crappie anglers used small live minnows and minijigs to land pan sized crappie near the islands. Catfish ate dip bait and cut anchovies off the bottom.
