LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR, 80’S

This is the lake report from the BASS FISHING LAKE RUSSELL book we have for sale for only $39.00.

Bass fishing is slow this week as the heat wave continues. The Dog Days of Summer has taken its toll on both the Bass and the Anglers. During the early morning periods, Shad Raps and DT6's along the banks are still producing some Bass. The rip rap rock is also showing us a Bass or two but only until about 9:30 a.m. at the latest. After about 10:00 a.m., the vast majority of the Bass are being caught in the deeper water along the main lake points with Carolina Rigs. In the Savannah River just at the point where the Rocky River feeds into the lake, you will find Markers 30 and 32. This will be at the southernmost part of the McCalla State Park. The Savannah River splits just north of this area and runs quite close to this side of the lake. The big cove between the two needs to be fished too. Here you will find fifteen to twenty five foot of water in the middle with narrow flats along the bank. Fish depths anywhere from twelve to twenty feet deep. Storm Rattle Tubes attached to a jig or Carolina Rig along with six inch U Tail Worms will usually catch you a limit during the day. Adding scent and a little color to these baits wouldn't be a bad idea. Try different colors when the fishing gets slow. Plenty of liquids and sun screen is a must if you plan to fish more than a couple of hours during the day. Afternoon thunder showers are always a possibility, so stay on the alert mode, especially after 2:00 p.m.

Now is a great time to ride the lake and scan the points, humps and ledges with the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology. Now anglers and spend less time searching and more time catching once this technology unlock the lakes secret.
