WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 1.78 FEET, STAINED & LOW 80’S

Bass fishing is fair. The fish are moving and there is a fair shallow water pattern during the week. A few bass are around the bridge pilings during generating times. A mixed bag of largemouth and spotted bass can be caught in the moving water. The only down side is most of the fish are all less than 14 inches long. Use a Pop R type lure or 1/2 ounce white Rooster Tail for best results. Black bass and the spotted bass are feeding sporadically from Highland Marina up the Chattahoochee to above the Hwy 219 bridge. They are on the main river points and are holding on the sides of the points. They run up on the points and feed and then move back to the sides of the points. Use a Carolina rigged worm in any color or a medium diving crank bait and fish at a depth of 14 to 16 feet. The largemouth bass and the spots are holding in brush piles in 15 to 18 feet of water. A pig and jig or Texas rigged worm are the best baits. The hybrids had been schooling late in the afternoon where Yellow Jacket Creek and the Chattahoochee converge. Try popping corks, poppers, sassy shad and buck tail jigs.
