LAKE SINCLAIR IS FULL, STAINED, MID 60’S

Bass fishing is fair. The muddy water definitely makes you work to get a bite. Fish the warmest days and fish the backs of the creeks on wood and shallow docks. Use the Lowrance CHIRP Sonar and the Lowrance Down beams to see the fish close to the bottom. Run HIGH or MEDIUM CHIRP along with regular 200 kHz or 83 kHz beams to locate the schools of baitfish. Use a Strike King 3/8 ounce jig in black and blue with a Zoom Chunk in green pumpkin or black blue. Use a Carolina on the points and docks but stay in the creeks. Try a shorter leader of 18 to 24 inches with a Zoom Finesse worm in green pumpkin and a half ounce weight. With most of the lake stained or muddy look for the clearest water you can find and fish slowly. Fish can be caught on an assortment of baits both shallow and deep. For the shallow bite, fish a bright SPRO Little John MD 50 slowly along rocky points and concrete sea walls. Chartreuse or Red Craw colors will be best. A worm or jig will also get bites in these same areas and around docks with brush. A 1/8 ounce shaky head with a black Zoom trick worm is a good bet around the docks for numbers. A ¼ ounce black and blue Buckeye Mop Jig will get fewer bites around these docks but will produce a quality bite. There are plenty of deep fish to be caught right now as well. Look for rock structure in the mouths of the creeks just off the main river channel. You can find these deep fish quickly by using your Lowrance HDS Structure Scan units. Once you have located these fish, drop a gold Hopkins spoon or a drop shot vertically through the school. These fish will be located in 24 to 30 feet of water. This is a great way to catch numbers of fish throughout the winter months.
