Small bass are going for topwater droppers or frogs. No work on spinner baits. Catfish tend to feed in the evening on cut baits. A lot of kids catching their first pan fish with red worms or mini crawlers. Not sure where the crappie are but no luck here lately. Hot afternoons bring a slow bite. Have weeds along shoreline.
