Bass anglers continue to do very well, but a lot of tight lipped bassers are keeping the details to themselves. The Bassackwards Bass Club held a club tourney on Friday, with an 18-9 5-fish total topping the field. Largemouth in the 2 to 6-pound range are hitting on a wide variety of lures, including Brush Hogs, swimbaits, and jerkbaits. Some intermittent hot action is being encountered by fortunate anglers who locate the roving schools of hybrid striped bass. When the fish are located, almost anything resembling a shad will draw a strike. Anglers are reminded that all bass species must be released at Irvine Lake. Good numbers of bluegill and redear are being caught in shallow brushy areas by anglers using mealworms or the new Gulp! Crickets. The Kids Lagoon is back in operation, and received a 500-pound stocking of catfish this week. The road to Trout Island is still under water, but is expected to re-emerge sometime in mid-July. The lake is open until 11:00 PM on Thursdays; until Midnight on Fridays and Saturdays; and closed on Tuesdays for the rest of the summer.
