Fishing for bass is OK with some biters on stickbaits and crankbaits. Bluegill fishing is decent close to shore with jigs or mealworms under a bobber. Saw a guy catch a few small catfish on nightcrawlers near the bridge.

Nearby Reports

Water levels continue to drop at El Capitan, with water temps hovering in the low 80s. The boat ramp is now closed, so access is limited to shore or kayak/float-tube anglers...

Fished on 8/7/26. Lots of jumping carp but only one bass caught while slow trolling structure changes. Water visibility low. No action with finesse baits and even live night...
