For bass fish 15-20 feet deep, near or after dark. A lot of fish are reported to be suspended 90-120 feet down over a 140 foot bottom, near Ensnore on the west side. At the north end, largemouth bass are hitting black and pumpkinseed-colored rubber baits in the weeds. Bluegills are also active. Farther south, look for smallmouth bass and small perch in 30 feet of water.
Minnows are best.
Trout fishermen are having trouble with the spinier fleas. Anglers are catching smallmouth bass on worms and crabs at Glass Factory Bay, Reed Point and Kashong Point. Most catches are in 10-30 feet of water. For a mix of perch and bass, try north of Glass Factory Bay in water 15-20 feet deep. For lake trout, fish the bottom off Sampson in 75-100 feet of water.
