LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR & LOW 50’S

Bass fishing is fair. Fish as many points as possible. The bass have moved out of the creeks and onto the main lake. Some small bass are still taking their time to move out of the creeks but these fish are really small. Whether up in the Savannah or Rocky River stay on the main portion of the lake and fish the points. The key will be to find the ones that product the best bass and fish all the points that have the same structure on them. The spotted bass seem to be holding to the points that have the most rock on them while the largemouth are leaning to the ones with the most wood on them. Use small Shad Raps and the Rapala DT10 and DT14 in green tiger and natural shad. Late in the day use the Carolina rig and dark finesse worms. Be sure to use at least a 3 foot leader on this rig with the Carolina Keeper and a full one ounce weight.
