Fishing attempts have decreased. A few being taken in deeper water off the points on minnows and jigs w/trailing minnow.

Bait: Jigs,Red Wigglers, crickets

Bluegill fishing is good. Best success is in deeper water. A FEW 'gills could still be in shallow trying to nest but most have gone into deeper water around structure.
