    LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN 1.8 FEET, CLEAR, 50’S


    Bass fishing is slow. The temperature of the water remains steady in the 42 45 degree range but the sun that has been shinning will warm the water a degree or two during the day. It will be cold all week long. Bass still have to feed and will be search of food. Now is a good time to practice up on some deep water cranking. Some of the larger spots and largemouth can be caught cranking the ledges with the DT 10 and 16 series crank baits by Rapala. These baits are moving off the shelves in record numbers. A lot of anglers are reporting great success while using these new deep diving crank baits. Up in the rivers where the water might still be a little stained, throw the richer colors like fire tiger or the black/silver colors. Out on the main lake, go to the more natural shad and crawfish colors and work the channel ledges near the points and rocky banks. Waiting for the sun to come up will be a plus for cranking rip rap or any long stretch of larger rock. Early in the morning or after mid day, the Carolina rig is still a recommended .The red shad Zoom u tail worm is fair. A 24 to 30 leader is all that is needed to complete this set up. The spoons of your choice will work. But this is when Lowrance Sonar and Down Scan technology will pay off while vertical jigging. Work all the baits as slow as possible for best results.


    We have another very cold weather front this week. Air temperatures are very cold and the fish will react to the weather by not feeding and relating the heavy structure with the very cold temperatures and high pressure. Any warm water you can find can have active bass. They still have to eat.
