WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 2.5 FEET, STAINED & 70’S


Bass fishing is good. Most any creek will produce bass and there are several patterns that seem to be working. We have fish in pre spawn spawning and post spawn patterns. Use a top water like a Pop R or Zara Spook to cover water and also add a pearl Senko. Some bass have already spawned and moved out deeper and can be caught on a Carolina rigged trick worm or around a little deeper cover on a jig and pig. The flooded grass is also holding fish and use a fluke or trick worm both weightless. The shad spawn is on too. Try a crank bait or spinnerbait in shad patterns around patches of rip rap rock near the bridges first in the morning. Most reliable right now are the spotted bass. A Carolina rigged Zoom green pumpkin finesse worm or a small crank bait will work. Fish the mouths of the larger creeks. Gravel points and shoal markers are a good place to start. Fish the south end of the lake for the best results for spotted bass.
