LAKE JACKSON IS DOWN .75 FEET, 80’S


Bass fishing is fair. Most of the day’s fish are on deep structure, deeper docks, and blow downs. Early morning fishing is good throwing a buzz baits or torpedo style prop baits. Cranks baits do well during the day. Before the sun gets up, stick to power fishing with buzz baits. Covering water can be the key to success. Sammie’s or Prop baits fish a little slower, but try these baits in prime areas. Near wood or rock structure for instance. Fish should strike on or after a pause. You may find the fish prefer the slower baits. Focus on main lake rock, riprap, and sea wall features. Fish main lake areas with some depth at or near the banks. When the sun gets up, spots and LM can be taken deeper on rocky points, blow downs, boulders, and humps. Mid day bass will be holding from 12 to 16 feet deep, depending on the conditions. Finding a crank bait bite can be fairly easy out on the deep structure like points and humps. The Bandit 300 in a natural color is a good choice. Pull up to the points and try your crank bait. Follow up with plastic and be willing to move on to the next point when the action dies. Try the same areas again, later in the day. Start trying your big cranks also. DD22's for instance. Texas rigged finesse worm or a shaky Trick will produce. Use a 3/16 oz. bullet. A drop shot rigged with 4 plastics is a good rig too. Finesse worms, Speed Craws, Ole Monsters, and jigs will take fish out of the blow downs. Pay extra attention to blow downs later in the afternoon. Fish the shaky rig on deep docks. Fish a jig and craw worked about 14 feet deep in wood cover.
