LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR & 70’S DEGREES

Bass fishing is good. The weather has been dry, but rain is on for the weekend. The bass fishing is really turning on. The water is warm and this is driving the bream and perch into the shallows. The shad are now moving back into the shallow water and will be spawning soon. Shallow running Shad Raps in the Perch and Shad colors are working. The early morning and late evening bite is good right now. Small cuts and coves seem to be the favorite places to fish. Top water Chug Bugs and Pop R’s are working in the creeks early in the morning. Follow any missed strikes with a spinnerbait. On the bright sunny days after the sun comes up over the treetops, anglers are finding the bass holding tight to cover and hard to catch. This is the time to use those plastics and jigs. Texas Rigged Lizards near wood piles seem to be working the best. For a sample of the BASS FISHING LAKE RUSSELL book e mail ken@southernfishing.com
