LAKE GEORGE IS FULL, LOW 50’S

Bass fishing is good. Bass are hitting jigs and Texas rigs and the greens are a good choice. Lipless and lipped cranks are doing the trick. Working these baits deep on top of ledge drops is producing. Use the 3/8 ounce Stanley spinner bait in white or chartreuse and the Shad Raps right on the banks. Shad Raps in the #7 shad/black back on 10 pound test Sufix Siege line are good choices. Work the lower lake creeks and ledges with a Zoom green pumpkin chartreuse tail or sour grape lizard or worm either on a Texas or Carolina rig. Use the longer leader on the Carolina rig and a full one ounce weight. Bass are on the creek points, ledges and wood as well as shallow pond dams in the lower lake creeks. A chrome 1/2 ounce Rat L Trap on points can draw bass and cast the baits right on the bank. The river fish are biting bright Stanley spinner bait mid day and work the wood. Black and blue jigs will work on the wood.
