LAKE RUSSELL IS .56 FEET OVER FULL & 88 DEGREES

Bass fishing is slow and the hot days hit again last week. If the winds pick up this just might stir up some good fishing. Stay out in the main lake and concentrate on fishing in no less than ten feet of water and go down as deep as twenty five feet. A few anglers are using the smaller versions of the Alabama rig with small Fluke pearl trailers. A lot of good bass are either suspended or holding to some type of structure in these depths. Deep diving crank baits and Rapala DT14 will reach the fish with ease on a long cast and light line. A slow retrieve stop and go retrieve will be necessary once the DT reaches its depth. Also don't forget about those Carolina rigs and Shakey Head worms in and around all submerged structure. Ask Ken for a sample of the BASS FISHING LAKE RUSSELL book.
