An angler fished from 2 p.m. till dark on the main and secondary points. He caught about 12 bass on drop shot using morning dawn Robo Worms. The northern coves have a good drop shot bite. Drop shot fish don’t tend to break any records but the bite seems to be a bit more consistant.

An angler pulled in a 10 pounder using a spoon – it ended up being a carp but was pretty exciting till he saw the glorious golden orb of fun. He’s not a real carp fan. But it does show that you can catch carp all year long from shore. Carp are the number one sport-fish in Europe.

There are a few crappie in Humbug. An angler caught 10 of them under a popper with a minnow in the evening.

An angler had a nice fishing day with his daughter and caught 3 bass. Two were caught on dippers and one on a drop shot. The largest bass was over 2 pounds.

Last week's wind and cold likely drove fish deep, but they will often come up into the warmer water in the afternoons.

For striped bass, try the northern coves especially over the submerged creek channels. When you located a school of fish on the graph, try chumming with frozen anchovies (pieces). Stripers can be picky, so try using a piece of anchovy on the hook with little or no weight. Spoons can also be effective for stipers and largemouth bass.
