Bass action is good. The fish are hitting plastic baits in green and watermelon colors. Drop shot presentations are the key. Striped bass are taking anchovies fished from shore in Government Wash. Anglers are also catching the line sides while trolling shad and trout pattern swimbaits near Hemenway Harbor. Crappie fishing is very good in the Overton Arm. Anglers are using drop shot rigs and shad swimbaits.
