LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.59 FEET, STAINED, 80’S


Bass fishing is good Top water baits are still producing during early morning on much of the lake. Most of this action is happening along main river banks and just inside the mouth of coves. Fish the top water lures like the Pop R, Chug Bug and Tiny Torpedo. A few fish are feeding in grass, mostly on mornings when the lake is less than a foot below full pool. Flukes or a buzz baits are working. Boat houses and docks continue to produce a few fish, mainly using soft plastics and jigs. Try a 5 inch Senko in watermelon or green pumpkin rigged weightless or with the lightest weight possible. Skipping a Zoom Trick worm under the docks works well on some days. Power fishing with a large worm should also be tried. A Zoom Old Monster or similar worm may not get as many bites, but it may coax a large bass into biting. Bass are now using a lot of the deeper structures like points, humps, and large flats. Most often the fish will locate along the sides of these structures where deeper water is close by. At times, mostly during power generating current flows, the fish may scatter across the top or crown of the structure. Usually a crank bait is best when the bass are on top. Some good choices are the Bill Norman DD14 and DD22 and a Rapala DT10 and DT14. Shad patterns and chartreuse patterns have both worked recently. But most of these deeper fish are caught using a Carolina rig. Try Zoom Trick and Finesse worms on a 3 foot leader with a half ounce weight. Green pumpkin, red bug and June bug are colors. A jig head and worm can add another fish or two that wouldn’t hit the Carolina rig. Try a Weedless Wonder head with a Zoom Finesse worm. A spinning rod and reel with 10 pound Sufix line is best.
