WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 4.2 FEET, STAINED & LOW 50’S

Bass fishing is fair. We will see warmer daytime temperatures and this will pull the fish up a little following bait seeking warmer temperatures. Cover a lot of water and find the bait schools with the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology. Anglers can see the bait off to either side of the boat GPS them and then fish them. This is a lot easier than riding over the bait with the engine. And we can cover a ton more water a lot faster. Now, use small shallow running crank baits in a shad pattern. Bass have preferred tighter wobbling crank bait like a Rapala Glass Shad Rap in shad pattern. Using long casts as close to rocky banks, make about five turns with the reel and pause. Repeat this cadence all the way back to the boat. McStick jerk baits can work but be sure to use a jerk and then rest a few seconds before pulling the bait again. Fish the mid part of the lake. Focus on rocky points closest to the main river channel.
