LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL & 77 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair. A Texas rigged Zoom U tale worm fished in brush piles or on long rock points will work but fish slowly. Work the baits slowly and be a line watcher. Carolina rigged worm fishing the deeper end of long points or under water islands will also work for a few bites. Using a good dipping dye like JJ Magic will help. Use 12 pound test as the main line with an 18 to 24 inch leader line of 10 pound test on the Carolina rig. Working the bait from all sides of the points will find the fish are holding tight on the bottom. A drop shot rig is also catching a few fish in brush. Make sure when you feel the brush slow down and let your bait stay in the strike zone as long as possible. Ask Ken for a sample of the BASS FISHING LAKE RUSSELL book.
