(NDOW) Anglers are finding shad throughout the Boulder Basin, and that is translating into fair to good fishing for striped bass from Burro Point to Boulder Beach to the Vegas Wash area.

Fishing is also good in the Overton Arm near Echo Bay.

The action can be inconsistent at times, but persistence is paying off.

Stripers and catfish are both taking cut anchovies or sardines. The larger stripers are in deep water below the shad and catfish are in coves and bays.
