LAKE GEORGE IS FULL, LOW 50’S

Bass fishing is fair. Grab the chartreuse Rat L Trap and started chunking. There are not a lot of big concentrations of fish but keep casting and watch for any signs of shallow shad in the grass. Some fish are up on sandy flats cruising around. The warming trend can extend on this week so the fish will get up into the shallows. Crank baits worked along the secondary points and creeks ledges near the spawning flats will work as the water warms. Try slow rolling a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce Strike king spinner bait with a double willow leaf blade, work it SLOWLY with a stop and go retrieve to imitate a dying shad, bouncing it down the rock ledge. A small 1/4 ounce jig in brown with a Zoom pumpkin seed chunk trailer worked slowly down the rock ledge is always a good winter time bait.
