LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.4 FEET, CLEAR, 80’S


Bass fishing is fair. Top water baits are still producing some larger fish during early morning. Try main lake sea walls and rip rap near deep water. Pop R’s, Spook’s, and buzz baits have all produced recently. Work the baits fast and cover water quickly. Have a weightless Zoom Fluke ready as a comeback bait for fish that strike and miss the top water lure. Throw the Fluke beyond where the strike occurred. Retrieve with short jerks to the strike area, and then allow it to slowly sink. Remember to use a sharp, wide gap hook such as a 3/0 Gamakatsu. Easy Cast Stern in 12 pound test works well with this rig. Try a #5 crane swivel about 10 inches above the hook. More fish are beginning to show up on the summer points, humps and ledges. In the central and upper lake, try depths of 6 to 15 feet. In the clearer water down lake, fish 12 to 25 feet deep. Once a fish is caught, make sure to fish the area thoroughly with different baits and retrieves. Try a Zoom Finesse worm on a Carolina rig. Use 14 or 17 pound main line with a three foot leader of 12 pound test. A ½ ounce weight will come through heavy cover more easily, but a ¾ or one ounce weight is best in current or deep water down the lake. Chartreuse or shad pattern deep crank baits will also work, especially during power generation. Try #6 and #7 Fat Free Shads, Poe’s #300 and #400, and Mann’s 15 and 20 Plus. Down the lake, a Mann’s 30 Plus could work.
