CLARKS HILL IS DOWN .98 FEET, 80’S


Bass fishing is fair. The best bite is up lake during the day and down lake afternoons. Early top water actions has been fair up the rivers. At daylight the bass head to the shallows and are feeding on small thread fin shad. This shallow action will last until the sun makes its way onto the water. Start the day with an all white buzz baits, cast all white, spinner baits and small chrome Rat L Traps. The chrome and black back Crazy Shad silver top water lures right on the banks as well as white Lunker Lure buzz baits are drawing strikes from bass. The fish are shallow at and before daylight and it’s best to be on the water as early each morning as possible. These bass are after recently hatched small shad and small sunfish right on banks both up and down lake. After the morning action head to the up lake creeks. Cast Zoom u tail worms in June bug and gourd green on a Texas rig on the bank cover. Keep baits in the structure as long as possible. The bone and parrot Deep Wee R crank baits in the rivers and creeks are good choices and again cast these lures right on the bank. All lures should be worked in a stop and go technique and move around often. A green Zoom trick worm with a # 2/0 Mustad wide gap hook on a spinning reel will get the fish out from under docks. Skip this bait as far into cover and into docks.
