Fishing has been good in the aqueduct with striped bass taking cut sardines, anchovies, and nightcrawlers after check gates. After anglers located schools of biting fish good numbers of 12 to 22 inch striped bass were reported. Flukes on a jig head and jerkbaits also took plenty of fish early and late in the day. The largemouth bass bite picked up for anglers working drop shot near outtake grates, bridge pylons, and in the eddies before and after check gates. Green pumpkin was by far the best color. Catfishing was great for anglers using the bait rig with cut baits and dip bait.
