Restricted equipment includes private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.
Lake Wohlford is offering $20 all day motorboats to seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Half day Bass boats are available weekdays for 35$ each.
The Trout season is winding down as the water temperatures continue to climb. Powerbait or nightcrawlers are the baits of choice for Trout.
Small to medium sized Bass are biting mostly in the early mornings and late afternoons. The Largemouth Bass can be found near structure and are hitting crawdads, shad raps, and dark colored plastics.
Crappie continue to be caught in modest numbers. Vu Tien of San Diego weighed in a 2.25# Crappie, Saturday, caught on a Crappie jig at Bass Point. Crappie prefer the cover of rocks or submerged trees in which to hide and are most often caught on Crappie Jigs or Live Golden Shiners.
