Fishing was good at Hart Park with bass and bluegill biting well. Largemouth fell for finesse baits, creature baits, Senkos, and topwater lures. Drop shot and Texas rigs worked well with green pumpkin and brown 4’ to 6” worms fooling fish. Senko style baits and creature baits pulled bigger bass from the floating lily pads, and weedless frogs worked well in the mornings and evenings. One local angler scored several huge bass on shad imitation glide baits. Bluegill ate any live worm under a bobber, and catfish anglers used dip bait and chicken liver to good effect.
