LAKE SINCLAIR IS FULL, 86 DEGREES, STAINED UP RIVER, MAIN LAKE CLEAR

Bass fishing has been decent this week on Lake Sinclair. Mayflies are starting to show up all over the lake more and more frequently. Look for the shallow bite to get better over the next month as we should see new Mayfly hatches every few days. Top water, jigs, and square bill crank baits are the baits of choice when fishing around the Mayflies. Early and late each day, throw a popper or a prop bait around sea walls, lay down trees, and overhangs that have flies present. Bream imitating colors will get the most bites. When the top water bite slows, try a Spro Fat John square bill crank bait around these same areas. Fishing the crank bait parallel to the sea wall will produce more bites as your bait will stay in the strike zone the entire way back. If you find a stretch of bank that is holding a good many fish, turn around and fish it again with a Buckeye Lures mop jig in a brown and orange color. Fish these jigs slowly underneath dock walk ways, at the base of sea walls, and in any wood cover you can find. This is a great way to catch a big fish. Concentrate your efforts on main river stretches for best results. There are still a good many fish deep as well. Most of the deep fish have been 18 to 23 feet deep over the past week. Deep diving crank baits, Carolina rigged soft plastics, and drop shot rigs have all been productive on these deep water off shore structures. Deep humps, long points, and river ledges will all hold fish this time of year. The deep bite is better when Georgia Power is moving water.
