The largemouth bass fishing continues to be very good. Fish back in the sand dunes. Throw 1/2-ounce black-and- blue jigs, swim jigs, jerkbaits, chatter baits, Senkos, spinnerbaits and Texas-rigged plastics. Fish are in 1-12 feet of water.
The smallmouth are spawning. Fish 5-20 feet using Ned rigs, Senkos, drop shot rigs, blade baits, crankbaits and tubes. Fish the rock piles around Goose Island and along the face of the dam. ....
