2700 lbs. of trout were dumped at the main ramp on Monday the 27th which helped the stripers a little bit but not as much as everyone was anticipating. Although there are still a lot of trout that made it through the week and were caught all throughout the New Year, we still can seem to get these stripers active. When the stripers do bite, they are still biting down deep and on cut bait. The large mouth bite has been really good with most of the cold weather we have been seeing. Plastic and a lot of finessing are what it takes to land a bass in these harder times. The lower lagoon has also been a somewhat decent spot for largies as well though it hasn't been doing as well as it has these past couple weeks. Swimbaits at the upper lake from the west and main ramps, is still pretty difficult. Haven't seen too many big fish coming from either side but the anglers who are catching them have been having better luck in the morning hours.
