LAKE JACKSON IS 1.03 FEET OVER FULL, STAINED, 50S


Bass fishing is fair on Jackson Lake. Much of the lake is cooler and stained from the heavy rains and snow of last week. The crankbait bite has slowed briefly with shaky heads and finesse jigs working fairly well to get bites through the rain event. It shouldn't take much to get the bite back to normal, and as always this time of year, some steady weather and warming will help out allot. Expect the stained shallows and pockets to warm quickly in the sun and draw fish for a shallow bite. If the water temps rise just slightly look for bites on chartreuse spinnerbaits with Colorado blades and the crank baits. Try a fire tiger #7 Shad Rap and Rapala DT6 and DT10 in these conditions. Change to more natural colors as the stain falls out. Fish from points into the warmest pockets to locate the fish. As the water warms and stays up there, target more wood cover rather than concentrating on the rocks. A Rat L Trap should also be used to cover shallow water. Chrome, red, and "Sexy" colored traps are good choices. Fish Rat L Traps and the other cranks shallow on riprap, points, and inside the mouth of the pockets. Look for areas with rocky and or clay bottom. Patches of chunk rock in 6 to 8 foot of water will hold fish particularly well. A Carolina rig or heavy jig will help you quickly locate these areas and a 3/8 ounce football or 5/16 Finesse jig will help you clean it up. Go with green pumpkin on your jigs and shaky/trick worms.
