WEST POINT LAKE IS FULL, STAINED & 78 DEGREES

Bass fishing is barely fair and the fish are very scattered and roaming. This is when a variety of baits may have to be used to find a suitable pattern. But any pattern may fall apart after an hour. There can be some fish suspended in 12 to 14 feet of water over deeper water down lake. Look for the bass down lake in the deep water on old road beds and pond dams. The bass are chasing small shad. If the lower lake is not working, head up the Chattahoochee River and fish the deep clay points on the outside bend of the river around Ringers and up with a Carolina rig or deep diving Rapala DT10 shad or baby bass crank bait.

Line sides especially the hybrids are schooling on top early and late and on cloudy days. They are chasing shad and moving fast from one area to another. They can be found all over the main lake, but a good place to look is the mouth of the Chattahoochee. They only come to the top for a few minutes so keep a white Rooster Tail or popping cork and fly or buck tail handy and ready to throw the minute they break the surface. Look for them to begin to suspend in 12 to 14 feet over deeper water. The bass and hybrid bass are schooling together in the same areas.

Crappie fishing is slow. The best time to catch them is at night under the lights with minnows and crappie jigs.
