The weather has been finicky this week. The wind has closed the lake to small craft on numerous occasions and closed the lake completely on Sunday. There were a few days of sun and mild temperatures that gave our anglers just enough opportunity to fish. Bass were abundant this week with multiple angler scoring mostly large mouth bass. Baits and lures from garlic nigh crawlers to Roboworms and senkos have been the big hitters. A few trout and catfish were caught off shore close to Harveys with garlic nightcrawlers and Doug baits.
