LAKE
RUSSELL IS DOWN 3.4 FEET, 45 DEGREES AND STAINED
Bass fishing is slow. The temperature of the water remains steady
in the 42-45 degree range but the sun that has been shinning will
warm the water a degree or two during the day. This warming of
the surface will trigger the bass, especially the spots to move
in search of food. Now is a good time to practice up on some deep
water cranking. Some of the larger spots and largemouth can be
caught cranking the ledges with the crank baits. A lot of anglers
are reporting great success while using these new deep diving crank
baits. Up in the rivers where the water is stained use the richer
colors like fire tiger or the black and silver colors. Out on the
main lake, go to the more natural shad and crawfish colors and
work the channel ledges near the points and rocky banks. Waiting
for the sun to come up will be a plus for cranking rip rap or any
long stretch of larger rock. Early in the morning or after mid
day, the Carolina rig is still a good bet. The red shad Culprit
worm is working on bass holding to cover in the deeper water. Try
the smaller sizes like the 4.5 or 5.0. A 24 to 30 leader is all
that is needed to complete this set up. Use a Tru-Tungsten dual
sinker to get more noise on the bottom. The spoons will still get
you a few bites while vertical jigging brush piles. Work all the
baits as slow as possible for best results.
