LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR & 62 DEGREES
Bass fishing is good. Spotted bass are roaming up on the points and flats all during the day and retreating to deep water stump beds. Either way, these fish are being caught all day long. The shallow water bass can be easily caught with Fat Free shad and Wiggle Warts as well as the Shad Raps. Try fishing a little deeper this week for some bigger fish with the DT 10 in shad patterns on 10 pound test line. The Rapala DT10 and DT6 slowly retrieved over heavy cover caught some bigger fish. Green tiger and shad will work and use a stop and go retrieve was used during the slow periods to trigger a strike. Carolina Rigs can also be used on the ledges and deeper water structure.
