The bass bite at Henshaw has been consistently good for most of the warmer months. Currently, bass are in a typical summer pattern: shallow and active in the mornings, deeper and more lethargic during the day. Topwater action has been excellent in the mornings, with drop shots, Senkos, and T-rigged plastics doing the most damage during the day.

The catfish bite has also been very good and will only get better as anglers take advantage of now open night fishing. Prawns and big nightcrawlers have been the hot baits.

Crappie are still schooling near offshore underwater structure and around the west shore dock. Small grubs or jigs are pulling in both size and quantity.
