JACKSON LAKE IS DOWN 2.6 FEET, STAINED & 77 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair. Top water baits are still working during early morning and late afternoon. The best areas are along the main lake and a short distance inside the mouth of coves. Some are hitting along seawalls, while others will be around docks, blow downs, or most any kind of shallow cover. On days that a buzz bait works, it’s the lure to throw. A buzz bait can be worked faster to cover water faster. It’s a good idea to fish a smaller bait like a 1/8 or ¼ ounce size and a larger, noisier bait like a ½ ounce size. On some mornings other baits like Pop R’s, Chug Bug’s and Baby Torpedo’s are better. After top water fishing ends, bass can be caught around or under docks with soft plastics. The best docks will also be located along the main lake and a short distance inside coves. Look for docks with brush under and around them. The biggest key to success is to fish slow, slow, slow. A few fish may be aggressive and hit the bait on the initial fall, but most will take a very slow bait. Try a Zoom Finesse or U Tale worm with a 1/8 ounce weight.
