Both salt water and fresh water fishing continue to be productive. With the warmer weather Crappie are hitting on Lake O'Neill. Lakes Wolford, Henshaw and Sutherland have both been good for Bass, Crappie and Catfish. Saltwater club members reported good catches of Dorado, Albacore, Swordfish off Oceanside and 9 Mile Bank where the temperature gradient drops to mid 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
