LAKE SINCLAIR IS FULL, 65 DEGREES, STAINED BY ROGER MCKEE, 706-342-8555

Bass fishing is fair. Lake Sinclair is 62 to 66 degrees. The Little River arm is muddy and the rest is heavily stained. The four plus inches of rain recently will change things up quite a bit! In the Little River arm use 3/8 ounce terminator spinnerbaits with Oklahoma blades and chartreuse skirts or big shallow crankbaits like Bandit's Flat Max. As the water continues to cool down, don't forget to slow your retrieve speed down and experiment with a stop and go retrieve. Lately a floating Zoom Trick worm in black or junebug with little or no weight around docks has been catching limits of fish in Island and Rocky creeks. Again the retrieve speed has been slow to slower. Fish a #5 Shad Rap in chartreuse and pearl or crawfish in the same area if you see shad on the surface. A few better than average fish have been caught on a Carolina rig fishing points from Nancy Branch and south toward the dam on a Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craw in green pumpkin. This is the time of the year I start sending my rods and reels in for yearly maintenance and repair, not all at once but a few each month through February, so that in March all my equipment is serviced/repaired and ready for a new fishing season.
