: BARTLETT LAKE: The crankbait bite is slow, but dropshot and Texas rigs are producing fish. The best bite seems to be later in the day when the water has warmed a bit fish late afternoons if possible. Remember bass can be caught around boulders and in brush lines on senko and spinnerbaits. Crappie is just starting, try around the Yellow Cliffs with 1/16oz jigs and 2" Kalins slow trolling can work well . Catfish are becoming active. In the days and weeks to come they will be lurking the shallows in search food. For Chanel Cats use live worms, stink baits and chicken livers. For Flatheads load up with big line 20Lb. plus, fish 5-15 feet deep with live worms, live bluegill of small carp. Rig up a Carolina rig with 1oz. egg sinker to help keep your bait on the bottom. Fish from dusk to dawn. Reported by: Arizona F&G |
