WEST POINT LAKE IS FULL, STAINED & 80’S


Bass fishing is slow. Up lake the water is slightly stained and fish are holding from 9 to 15 feet of water. This week long deep points and deep structure has been the best fishing. We caught fish on a Texas rigged Zoom Ol'Monster. Use a medium heavy rod with 17 pound Sufix Elite Line and a 1/2 ounce black bullet weight. Fish this bait slowly. Up lake fish the points in Yellow Jacket and around any of the shoal markers in the mouth of the Chattahoochee River. Down lake the water has been clearer. Use shakey head rigged with a Trick worm and it is working better than anything else. Good colors are June bug, green pumpkin and red bug and use a 2/0 offset Mustad worm hook. Deep crank baits like the Norman DD22 or Poe's 400 have been working. Use this bait right before dark. This week down lake the best creeks to fish have been Stroud Creek, Rainbow Creek and in the back of Maple Creek.
