CLARKS HILL IS 2.23 FEET OVER FULL, 83 DEGREES & CLEAR

Bass fishing is barely fair after another week of heavy rain. Early in the morning, head up into the rivers and bigger creeks. Remember down sizing will be the key during the hot months. Small Storm Thin Fins and the new Missile twin tail worms on a Texas rig and light Carolina Rigs along the channel ledges are a sure bet on getting a strike. With the runoff and the stained waters, try fishing with a # 4 RS Shad Rap in the Fire Tiger color. Throw in shallows and slowly retrieve it through the dirty water all the way out to the cleaner water. For the most part, anglers are relying on worms and jigs to catch the majority of the bass. Most of the bass are small in size with an occasional 3 or 4 pounders showing up.
