WEST POINT LAKE IS FULL, STAINED & 78 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair. The bait of choice will be the Rapala #5 Shad Raps and the Rapala DT10 crank baits. Soft plastics must be green pumpkin. Up the river the water is stained try the pearl or the red shad color. Rig this bait with a tube jig head or peg a Texas style bullet weight and cast to isolated targets like rock and wood. An occasional dock won't hurt but since you are limited to the numbers of docks, try the lay downs located all around the lake. Fish the deeper end for best results. Also rig one of these tubes on a Carolina rig and fish off the rocky points. The steeper the drop coming off the point the better the results will be. Work the bait slow and make at least two casts at each location. Shake the plastics if you hang up on a piece of structure. This will allow the fish to locate the baits and even draw a strike in some cases. Concentrate your efforts on the rocks and wood and work the deeper water especially when the sun gets high.
