LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR & LOW 80’S

Bass fishing is fair. When the water is moving set up on main lake structure and wear the spots out by cranking down with a deep diving crank bait, dragging a Carolina rig or vertical jigging with a shaky head or drop shot. The Alabama rig is still working and small baits are the best way to match the hatch. Rocky points with brush piles, the reef markers around the dam or vertical structure like bridge pilings can all be good. Try picking off a few fish with your crank bait. Then slow down and pick apart the structure with your finesse worm rigs once you locate some fish. Watermelon is always a good color, and redbug will also produce.
