It was a solid week for catfish. Martin Arenas of Escondido caught & released a 45.30# monster Blue Catfish while fishing for bass with a plastic worm west of Senior Shoreline. Lake Wohlford cats respond well to cut mackerel or chicken liver. 

In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels there is a ban on private watercraft and equipment that could have been exposed to mussels. Restricted equipment includes; private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.

Small to medium sized bass being reported mostly around structure. The bass are hitting chatter-baits and jerk-baits.

There have been some crappie being caught in decent numbers west of Senior Shoreline and also suspended deep near the west buoy line. Crappie prefer live golden shiners or mini-jigs
