WEST POINT LAKE IS FULL, STAINED & LOW 80’S
Bass fishing is slow with the high temperatures. Most fish are coming from deep water road beds and humps when current is present. Use Carolina rigs and shaky heads worked slowly. When generation is at its strongest and bait is present, use deep diving Rapala DT10 crank baits in shad patterns. The best colors have been watermelon and green pumpkin when using a Carolina rig and deep crank baits in a shad or baby bass patterns. From time to time throughout the day fish will come up schooling and a Zoom Super Fluke is the bait to catch them with. A top water bait like a Sammy is also a good choice. When they’re not on top they can be caught in brush 20 to 25 feet deep on a drop shot. There is an early morning top water bite on schooling fish before the sun tops the trees. For these fish, use a popping cork and fly. The best locations for these schooling fish have been on the southern end of the lake, south of Wehadkee Creek.
