LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.54 FEET, STAINED, 80 S
Bass fishing is good. Most fish feeding in shallow water in the coves and creeks. Top water baits should be tried during early morning, late afternoon, and during overcast conditions. Some larger fish will hit buzz baits, Pop R’s, Spooks and weightless Flukes near the back of coves around any type of cover. Make several casts to a likely looking piece of cover such as blow downs, stumps, rocks, or grass. After catching a fish from cover, return later and try the spot again. Don’t waste time fishing areas with little or no bait so the Lowrance Structure Scan technology can see the baits out to 100 feet from the boat. Use small crank baits like a #5 Shad Rap RS in fire tiger and shad. Try to bump the posts on docks on each retrieve. Rat L Trap’s and spinner baits from ¼ to ½ ounce should also be tried. When it slows down, worms and jigs will work. Try pitching a 5/16 ounce Stanley Rattlin’ jig with a Zoom Tiny Brush Hog trailer. A good pitching worm rig is a Zoom 6 inch Dead Ringer in June bug or green pumpkin on a 3/0 hook with a ¼ ounce weight.
