THE SOUTHERN FISHING REPORT

LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 2.5 FEET, 88 DEGREES AND MOSTLY CLEAR

Largemouth bass fishing is fair and top water baits continue to produce a few bites during early morning, but it’s not easy to pattern them to exact locations. Work the main lake banks and into coves and bays. Docks, blow downs, grass, seawalls, and overhanging trees and bushes are prime targets for a surface blow up. Most any popper or prop bait can draw a strike. Some good choices are Pop R, Chug Bug, and Torpedo. Spinner baits are catching a few fish, mostly in grass and the dirty water of Cedar Creek. Buzz baits are also worthy of trying around the grass patches. Rip rap continues to produce fish, mostly with soft plastics, but a few on crank baits. The diving plugs have a better chance of success during current flows and wind. Lightweight Texas rigs and jig head & worm are more consistent using a very slow retrieve. Try a 1/16 to 1/8-ounce Spotsticker jig head with a Zoom Finesse worm in green pumpkin, June bug, or red bug. This rig is much more effective using 8 to 10 pound line on a spinning outfit. The rig can be used with an exposed hook or rigged weedless similar to a Texas rig. Docks and boathouses are holding a few fish that will also hit slowly retrieved soft plastic baits. Main lake points, humps, and ledges are holding fish at 10 to over 20 feet deep. Deep crank baits are worth trying, especially when the fish are holding near the top of the structure, and when current is present. Carolina rigs are the most consistent producer.
