LAKE SINCLAIR IS FULL, 82 DEGREES, STAINED UP RIVER, MAIN LAKE CLEAR

Bass fishing is good. Cool fall weather is officially here, giving us an early preview of what the next couple months will be like. The shad are moving to the shallows in the creeks and coves, and the bass are right behind them. The next two months will be a lot of fun as the bass will be gorging themselves in preparation for the cold winter that awaits us. Shad will be the primary forage for the bass this month. Shad imitating lures such as top water baits, crank baits, spinner baits, and flukes will be most productive. White or chrome colored top water baits such as a Lucky Craft Sammy will be hard to beat walking them back over stumps or brush on shallow flats. Bigger fish will also fall victim to a white Buckeye Lures DH2 buzz bait fished around heavy cover. Mid morning and throughout the rest of the day, cover a lot of water in the creeks and coves with a Spro Little John 50 crank bait or an Aruku Shad Jr. lipless crank bait. Nasty shad will be the best color on the Little John and chrome/blue will work great on the Aruku Shad. If the bite slows and the fish get finicky, try a weightless Zoom Super Fluke in the pearl white color on a 4/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook. This will get many bites throughout the day by finicky fish. On some post front blue bird days the fish will not chase a bait. On these tough days, try a Buckeye Spot Remover shaky head with a green pumpkin Zoom trick worm around docks, brush piles and stumps. Fishing will be good all over the lake, but concentrate your efforts around the larger creeks.
