Smallmouth are quick to hit on soft plastics near

Bluegill and green sunfish have been the most active this past week at city ponds. They are taking mealworms, night crawlers, and occasionally, small lures or flies.  Catfish are eating night crawlers, hotdogs, or chicken gizzards -- the smellier the better.
