Fishing remained good at Buena Vista Lakes last week, with bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill all providing action. Largemouth bass anglers found success around the cattails, reeds, and islands using weightless Senkos, swim jigs, chatterbaits, and drop-shot-rigged curly-tail Roboworms. Green pumpkin was the most productive color, although brown and purple patterns also generated bites. Crappie anglers filled stringers with small live minnows, mini jigs, and small swimbaits, while bluegill readily took live worms fished near the reeds. Catfish action ranged from fair to good, with anglers catching fish on nightcrawlers, chicken liver, cut baits, and dip bait.
