Lots of bass and crappie hanging on boat docks and other wood cover. Small rattling crankbaits and plastic worms are the better choice for bass, while live minnows and tiny jigs are taking the crappie. The grass bed at the mouth of the river is holding a few fish, with the area closest to the river channel holding most of them. Fish topwater poppers and spinnerbaits on higher tides and frogs and Senkos on the lower tides. Catfish action is good around the islands at the mouth of the river. Cut bait and crab are the baits of choice. Belmont Bay grass is beginning to grow well, according to one report.

Catfish are cooperating nicely on clam snouts, cut bait and nightcrawlers. Bass action is fair, with the majority of the fish being caught on plastic worms and crankbaits on points and dropoffs. Some bass are being taken from the grassbed at the mouth of the river. Try spinnerbaits and Chatterbaits on the outside edges and frogs, swim jigs and Senkos in the grass. Crappie fishing is fair, with most of the fish being taken on boat docks.

Crappie are taking tiny jigs around boat docks. Bass are taking plastic worms and crankbaits around wood cover and on rocks. Bass have moved into the sparse grass at the mouth of the river and in Belmont Bay, taking spinnerbaits, weightless stick baits, gold Rat-L-Traps and plastic shad imitations. Catfish like clam snouts and cut gizzard shad in the river channel.

Catfish in the 4-10 pound class are prevalent throughout the river. Cut bait and clam snouts are the preferred baits. Largemouth bass are being taken on topwaters, Rat-L-Traps, plastic worms and creature baits. Best success comes from the emerging grass and lily pad fields at the mouth of the river. Blowdowns along the north shoreline, boat docks and shallow flats dropping into deep water are also producing well. Crappie are taking small minnows, fished around the boat docks.

Lots of catfish action on clam snouts and cut bait. For larger catfish, try weighted swimbaits liberally sprayed with Berkley shad flavored Gulp attractant. Allow the bait to fall to the bottom and begin a slow retrieve. Bass action is good on topwaters early and late, and on plastic worms and rattling crankbaits during the day. Bass anglers should concentrate on the area below the Route 1 Bridge, and the back end of the river, just downstream from the footbridge. Crappie action has slowed considerably.
