JACKSON LAKE IS 1.67 FEET OVER FUL, HEAVY STAIN & MID SIXTIES

Bass fishing is very good. Watch for a lot of debris floating lake wide. Bass are shallow and taking a variety of baits from back in the pockets to the main lake. Spots gathered on rocky main lake points and sea walls. Largemouth’s are on shallow wooded banks back in the pockets. Fish from the bank out to about 5 feet of water. Spots may hold a bit deeper. Throw a white spinnerbait with nickel blades and get it close to wood and rock cover. Bump the cover and use a slow retrieve. Another bait you must throw now is a jig and craw trailer. A green jig should work well for finding big fish and taking fish that didn't jump on the blade bait. Have fun with floating worm’s weightless trick worm around shallow brush piles and dock posts. These bites will likely be smaller fish but the visible bait adds to the fun. Rig it whacky or no weight Texas, in white or watermelon seed. The shade of overhanging trees and docks will hold fish when the sun is up and skipping a floating worm is a fun way to get at them. A green Senko is also a top producer around wood in the 2 to 5 foot range. Flip or skip the 5" Senko around docks and wood cover and let it fall with plenty of slack. If it makes it to the bottom, twitch and pause it briefly then make another presentation. This bait is working best when falling on a wacky rig, but hang ups will be more of a problem near wood cover.
