LAKE GEORGE IS DOWN 1.1 FEET, HIGH 80’S

Bass fishing is good and the fish are still in their summer patterns. Start with the top water activity, try fishing a frog or a popping bait around the grass early in the morning. Soon the fish will begin to move up some. The grass bite should pick up, and there may begin to be some schooling activity. Keep a top water tied on, and if you see schooling fish around points or at the mouths of creeks, throw a popper or rattle bait at them. Look at the bottom structure like humps, points, ledges and bottom indentations. Look for brush or stumps in these type areas, find baitfish over them, and try to fish when the water is moving. Once you find a likely spot, start out throwing a deep diving crank bait like a Spro Little John DD. If you can get one to bite, sometimes the whole school will start biting. Citrus shad is a good color. Follow up with a Carolina or Texas rig for a couple more bites once the feeding frenzy dies down or if you can’t get them to hit the crank bait. Concentrate on the cover with your soft plastics.
