Lake Success was near full capacity at the time of reporting, with water temperatures in the mid-sixties—ideal for spring fishing. Bass anglers experienced a solid post-spawn bite, with many fish transitioning to deeper water. Smaller males were hitting Senkos, Carolina-rigged lizards, and Roboworms in brown, green, and purple hues. Shallow water produced plenty of smaller males, while targeting the 15-foot zone with jigs and deep-diving crankbaits yielded fewer but larger females. Crappie fishing was productive in the North Fork near the Tule River inlet, where fish held over submerged trees and brush. Small live minnows and minijigs were the top producers. Catfish anglers found success near the marina using Carolina rigs baited with live worms, cut mackerel, and dip baits.
