JACKSON LAKE IS DOWN .9 FEET, STAINED & 48 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair to slow. The bite improves with consistent weather between fronts. The lake has cleared up for the most part. Flat side cranks baits like a Shad Rap, will get a relatively shallow bite when working rock, warm pockets, and docks. Also work points, humps, and bluff banks on the main river channel or appropriately deep water. Locations with deep, hard, and rocky bottom will be more likely to hold concentrations of fish. The key to finding deep active fish is to find a group holding together or stay with the bait. Sun on rocks, wood, docks, and stained water will draw fish shallow when located adjacent to deep water or in a pocket. The waters will warm in the afternoon so expect the warming to improve the bite in general. A warm afternoon will particularly improve the crank bait bite. A Fire Tiger or Craw DT 10, depending on water clarity, can also be worked on a chunky 6 to 10 foot bottom.
