URBAN LAKES – Fishing is a bit slow but for the persistent, early rising angler it can be productive.  Bass and catfish will both take live worms fished on the bottom with a foot or so leader.  If you are into bobber fishing throw a piece of worm or a meal worm below a bobber, adjust [...]

In the past couple weeks I’ve basically heard more of the same. Trolling cranks and grubs early in the morning or late in the afternoon and night fishing under lights are your best bets.
