WEST POINT LAKE IS FULL, STAINED & 80’S


Bass fishing is fair. The early top water bite on a Pop R in bone color or a 3/8 ounce Lunker Lure Buzz bait is fair. Fishing around shallow grass and blow downs is best. The top water bite is working until late morning so don't stop fishing these baits when the sun pops over the trees. Most of the top water fish are in Highland Marina's Cove and the small pockets up Yellow Jacket Creek. As the day gets hotter go to the Weedless Wonder head in a 1/8 ounce size and use a Net bait T Mac in the Bamboo color. Fish this bait around the same areas but just out a little deeper. Shakey heads are working lake wide but this week the north end of the lake has been better because the water has been more stained with all the rain and runoff. A deep diving Rapala DT10 shad or parrot crank bait has been working but they have to be pulling water so the afternoon has been the best time for this bait.
