Report by CANADA BAIT 'N' TACKLE    Braggin' Board 

Catfish are still going good. All normal types of catfish bait is working. Several caught on shrimp.

Walleye are getting a bit tougher to find, but some are still lucking out. One fellow fishing for catfish with shrimp got a 3 1/2 pound walleye. So who knows?

Striper still are seen surfacing but not as often. Marshall cove to the dam. With the water temperature in the low 70's they are going where they want to.

White bass being caught on little jigs as well as minnows and slab spoons. They are running the bait to the surface also.

Smallmouth bass on the rocky areas. Crankbaits and minnows are being successful for these.
