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

The algae is way down with water temps dipping to around 79 degrees... and the bass have taken notice. Fish are slowly getting more aggressive as they look to fatten up before...

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...
