The lake is again on its way back down from record highs. The Corp of Engineers is now pulling water continuously and have been all week. Currently the lake stands at 4.5 feet over full pool and rising, and sits around 51 degrees. The backs of the live creeks in the lower lake are stained and the rivers are muddy and blown out in many areas. Please be careful of floating debris when navigating the lake. A worm and a jig have been our best bet for catching fish this week. We have been presenting the plastics on a shaky head. We have been working these baits fairly shallow on rocky and clay points at the mouths of pockets and creeks as well as deeper in ditches. Also, a shallow to medium diver like the Castaway 1.5 Shad crank can be good when the wind is blowing. Work the crank baits on shallow rock points and clay banks, both in creeks and on the main lake when you do find some wind. Some days the wood in these areas is holding fish as well, so make sure to make some casts to the now many pieces of flooded cover. For in depth details to include all baits, tactics, presentations, and locations, please make sure to check out my New Weekly Video Fishing Reports available on my website: https://jimboonlanier.com/jimbos weekly video fishing reports/
