A 10-pound bass was reported at Hart Park, proving that even a small body of water can hold giant fish. Bass anglers continued to do well with weightless and Texas-rigged Senkos, creature baits, and swimbaits. Catfish anglers found success with cut sardines, dip bait, and chicken liver fished on a Carolina rig. Bluegill went for mealworms, waxworms, and redworms.
