The trout bite continues to be good for trollers using orange Power Worms and crawlers. A shore bite from Cactus Patch has re-emerged using water floats or  ? oz. sinkers and rainbow Power Bait.

The bass are quickly moving into postspawn. Beds can still be found and there are a lot of guardian males with fry balls. Hermit Cove has bass chasing shad subsurface but occasionally a bass will have a brain fade and hit a topwater.

Cats are now being found under the bird trees. Redears are spawning. Cruise the bank early when the lake is glass. They are in 10 to 15 ft. of water.
