CLARKS HILL IS 2.3 FEET OVER FULL, 49 DEGREES & STAINED

Bass fishing is slow and the cold weather has made getting strikes tough. Get out the Stanley 1/2 ounce jigs and add the Uncle Josh #11 matching dark pork trailer. Skip the baits up under the docks and work any wood in the water. The jig and pig will work for some of the larger bass in the lake. Use the jig and the #7 Shad Rap. Go into the creeks and fish the right hand bank all the way to the back of the creek. Look for and fish the brush off the points. Later each day, bass are also being caught on Shad Rap #7 crank baits in crawfish. Cold weather will make fishing tough and dangerous so use extreme caution on the water and do not fish alone. Wear the Mustang vest too. Drop the spoons and other slow moving baits to the bottom and keep then close to any structure. Almost any fishing needs to be really slow as the body of the bass all but shuts down in such cold water.
