LAKE GEORGE IS DOWN 2.1 FEET, 60 DEGREES

Bass fishing is good with a lot of bass coming from fairly shallow water. The central lake area continues to be the best overall, mainly because of having warmer water than the rest of the lake. But some of the larger fish have come from the colder areas, although the bite is extremely slow. The Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology will work very well even in 10 feet of water. Anglers can cover 68 feet of bottom at 10 feet deep with the 455 frequency beam. Small crank baits and Rat L Traps have accounted for most good catches. Try a #5 Shad Rap or #4 Shad Rap RS in fire tiger, shad, and chrome and blue. Good limits have also come on #306 Rocket Shads, #200 Bandit, Rat L Traps in ¼ and ½ ounce sizes. Most catches are coming from main lake banks and points, and a short distance inside the mouth of coves.
