LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR & UPPER 60 DEGREES

Bass fishing is good and the fish are shallow lake wide. Up the river fish the larger points and pockets just off the points for the numbers. Cranks and spinnerbaits will work for several weeks to come in these areas. Spawning has about over but there are still fish on the banks. Use a shad colored Shad Raps and finish up with the shallow Bang A Lure and Sub Warts in the back. Buzz baits with the double blades are starting to turn on while making very long cast to the one feet or less of water in the back of coves. Some of the larger bass are killing these baits early in the mornings. The jig bite is just starting to happen while pitching or flipping into real heavy cover. Find the biggest group of small trees and bushes that come together near a point or small bowl area. Put the jig right in the middle and work it slowly until all the cover is worked well.
