CLARKS HILL IS DOWN 1.07 FEET, LOW 50’S DEGREES & STAINED
Bass fishing is fair and some fish are ready to head to the pre spawn pattern. With the full moon this week, the fish are feeding on tiny newly hatched bait fish. Most bass are being found in ditches or flats with jerk baits and crank baits in 5 feet of water or less. On the warmer afternoons bass are cruising in the backs of many pockets. More cold weather may be back .Use the jerk baits, spinnerbaits, crank baits, Chatterbaits and jigs. Many anglers will rely heavily on the spinnerbait. Any warming trend will send some female bass to the shallows looking for an area that provides cover and food for the spawn. Throw close to and into the thickest cover possible during the warmest days. However, if the temperature stays cool, back off the cover some and try slow rolling around the edges of spawning flats. If the month does stay on the cool side, use your jerk baits and crank baits that suspend and fish down the middle of the pockets. A Fish Head spin would also be a good choice. As always, the jig ’n pig will produce big bass now, also. Try it on main and secondary points that are near spawning flats.
