Trout stocking crews are out this week replenishing many put-and-take waters. A good number of the stockings are taking place in community ponds, which make for easy and safe fishing opportunities for families and small children. White perch are being caught in the tidal rivers a few miles below the spawning reaches this week. Fishing for a mix of blue catfish and channel catfish offers some fishing opportunities for anglers in the middle Bay. Northern snakeheads are becoming more active. Water temperatures are still a little cool to their liking, so sunny afternoons are a good time to find them in the shallower waters on the sunny side of tidal creeks. |
