General Conditions

Striped bass fishing continues to provide the best action here with stripers averaging 8 to 12lbs. Anglers are also catching a few big catfish, a few trout as well as some largemouth bass.

Water conditions for fishing are excellent. The water temperature is increasing but remains on the cool side at 63 degrees. Our water level is currently at 50%.

Trout

Trout fishing is still rated fair to slow but we saw many more trout this week than in previous weeks. No trout have been planted in over a month so these are all hold over fish. Most of the trout are being caught in 5 to 10 feet of water by anglers fishing with bait. Many anglers are using bobbers or very small sliding sinkers to fish effectively in the shallow water. Trout are in great shape and averaging between 2 and 3lbs. Nightcrawlers or powerbait take most of the trout. We saw a couple limits that came out of the south cove. Trolling is slow. Trout are receiving pretty light pressure as most anglers are going after striped bass. We have even seen a half a dozen trout caught on anchovies by anglers working for stripers.
