Fishing did not improve this weekend for any species. One angler report 5 bass on a jerk bait but he was the only one. Most bassers struggled to get one fish. Cats were not any better. No limits were reported. What action there was happened in the backs of the coves.

One angler reported catching "a lot" of redears but would not reveal where or with what so it is unverifiable.

Best Trout Spots:
Shadow Cove and fishing float.
Best Trout Lures/Bait:
Rainbow Power Bait on at 2ft. leader at Shadow Cove

Best Cat Spots:
Bird Trees and the edges of any flooded trees particularly in the backs of the coves.
Best Cat Bait:
Mackerel and nightcrawlers. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots:
Hermit Cove and they are moving back to the points.
Best Bass Lures/bait:
Texas rigged creature baits, crawdads, Bass Assassins'.

Water Temp:
71 degrees on the surface

Prognosis: The channel catfish as they move into the shallows looking for spawning spots are best found in the backs of the coves. If we get some warmer days a topwater bite will get going...
