LAKE SINCLAIR IS FULL, 73 DEGREES, MUDDY UP RIVER, MAIN LAKE STAINED

Bass fishing is great. Early mornings have been best for both numbers and quality. Start the morning with moving baits and cover water. Top water baits, such as a white buzz bait or white popper, have been great around concrete sea walls and wood targets in the Oconee River. A weightless Trick worm has also been good up shallow around wood cover, sea walls, and docks in the Oconee River. Later in the morning and throughout the day, try a chartreuse and white Tru Trac Lures spinnerbait or a Spro Little John crank bait in these same areas. Continue using these moving baits all day if it remains cloudy. If the sun comes out, start flipping a Texas rigged Zoom baby brush hog in June bug color around logs and docks. When Georgia Power is moving water, run to Crooked Creek Bridge or Little River Bridge and toss Spro Little John crank baits and light Texas rigs to the rip rap banks. Take advantage of the current by fishing the rip rap points and bridge pilings as post spawn fish try to fatten back up after the spawn. Numbers of smaller fish can also be caught in the clearer creeks on the lower on of the lake by fishing shaky head worms in green pumpkin color around the docks. Guide trips are booking up fast, so give me a call to book your trip.
