The great catfish bite has cooled some but was still " good." Cloister and Eagle Coves have been better than Hermit. Our bass are still schooling their anglers. This angler spent a few hours trying early on Thursday to make the topwater bite happen. 1 bass the same size as the # 18 Rapala. Still no bass chasing shad on the surface. The shad schools are metered at 15' to 25' off the points and are huge but spoons and ice jigs underneath them are not producing.

Best Cat Spots: Eagle, Cloister and Hermit Coves.
Best Cat Bait: Chicken livers, shrimp, hot dogs or nightcrawlers. Use scent liberally.
Best Bass Spots: 25 ft on all the points.
Best Bass Lures / bait: # 13 Rapalas, Zara Spooks and d/s 4" morning dawn worms.
Water Temp.: 78 degrees on surface.

Notables: Fri. and Sat., John Visser, Jake Alirez, Melody Noble, Lemon Grove, 15 cats, largest 4-0, chicken livers and Secret 7, Eagle Cove. Sat., Juan Herrera, Alpine, 5-4 cat, Cloister Cove.

Prognosis: A warmer week should heat the lake and make the fish feel better about themselves. I am not holding my breath for the topwater bass bite but the cat bite should return to it's former glory.
