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.
