WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 5.7 FEET, STAINED & HIGH 40’S
Bass fishing is fair. Secondary points are the best pattern and shallow to medium diving crank baits will work. There are plenty of these good secondary points all over the lake and the better ones to fish will be the ones with rock and grass on them. Number five Shad Raps along with a DT6 are good choices. As a reminder, there are lots of spotted bass in the lake and they like a little smaller profile in all their baits. A Fat Albert all white or root beer pepper green by Zoom on a ½ ounce lead head jig on the new Berkley Fire Line Crystal will work especially well on rocks anywhere on the lake. The bigger bass last week seemed to want the small cranks and some good fish are starting to show up on the rip rap. The sun should shine this weekend and the rip rap at the bridges just might be worth checking out with the RS Shad Raps and the DT10's. Also use a weightless Senko in June bug on the new Fire Line Crystal line on a spinning reel and concentrate on wood on the banks in the back of the mid lake creeks.
