The striped bass bite has started to pick up, and anglers fooled fish with cut sardines, anchovies, and jumbo live minnows. Lure anglers landed fish with Flukes, small swimbaits, and jerkbaits in the turbulent water after check gates. Good numbers of bigger striper were reported by anglers using fresh sardines. Catfish slurped up chicken liver, dip bait, and fresh shrimp on bait rigs near outtake grates and check gates. Bass anglers used Senkos and finesse baits before and after check gates to score bites. An angler reported a 5 pound bass while reeling in a Rattle Trap.
