LAKE RUSSELL IS 1.16 FEET OVER FULL & 77 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair but the during the early morning periods, Rapala Shad Raps and Rapala Scatter Raps along the banks are still producing. The rip rap rock is also holding fish but only until about 9:30 a.m. at the latest. After mid morning, the vast majority of the bass are being caught out in the deeper water along the main lake points with Carolina rigs. Fish from 20 to 25 feet deep with the Zoom mini lizards and 6 inch lizards in green pumpkin. A jig or Carolina rig along with six inch U Tail worms will usually catch you a limit during the day. Adding scent and a little color to these baits wouldn't be a bad idea. Try different colors when the fishing slows down. Ask Ken for a sample of the BASS FISHING LAKE RUSSELL book.
