WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 4.3 FEET, STAINED & HIGH 50’S

Bass fishing is good. The fish really began to turn on at the first of the week, but the cool rains have muddied the lake up a bit. Fish on the northern end of the lake to take advantage of the warmer water. Fish have been really shallow feeding on shad that are relating to the sun. The best bites have come later in the afternoon after the sun has had time to warm water temperatures. Most of the fish have been caught extremely shallow in the midway or in the back of spawning pockets on chunk rock or red clay banks. Use mid depth crank baits in a shad pattern for these fish. Crank baits to choose from are a Bomber 4A, Bandit 200, or a Jackal MC/60. Make long casts to the bank and retrieve with a slow to moderate retrieve. The bigger fish this week came on a ¼ ounce All Terrain jig in Texas Craw with a green pumpkin Net Bait Paca Chunk. Spotted bass have begun to move up on lay downs and shallow rock on main lake. Use a 1/8 ounce Davis Baits Shaky head with a Zoom green pumpkin trick worms. Spotted bass will become more aggressive over the next couple of weeks leading to the spawn.
