Eastman continues to kick out quality largemouth bass with limits more than 25 pounds being weighed in. Bass in the 4- to 5-pound range have been coming on lipless crankbaits, finesse presentations, or with rainbow trout patterned swimbaits, but the pressure has been intense, particularly on the weekends. Crappie and bluegill continue to be taken deep in the rockpiles or brush piles with minijigs. A double trout plant is scheduled at Eastman the week of the 24th with a single plant at Hensley.
