Lakes 3 and 4 split a stock of Catfish this past Friday. Limits were taken from both lakes. Mackerel, shrimp and mealworms have been the popular baits for the whiskerfish.

Hannah Boisier caught and released a 5 lb. Bass from lake 7 on a nightcrawler.

Lakes 6 and 7 are reserved for campers and tend to yield larger fish. Visit www.santeelakes.com for lakefront camping or cabin availability.
