Fishing was fair to good at Hart Park, with largemouth bass holding under the floating weed beds and smaller bass found in the inlet. Weedless plastics pitched into or near the vegetation produced bites, with some fish reaching up to five pounds. Purple Texas-rigged Senkos also fooled largemouth. Crappie were reported by anglers using small live minnows, while no catfish reports were received last week.
