WEST POINT LAKE IS 3.8 FEET, STAINED & 70 DEGREES

Largemouth and spots are holding in shallow water in the backs of selected coves. Fish spinner baits, Sebile Swimmers and Shad Raps around shallow stumps in 2 to 3 feet of water. Bass are also holding on medium to deep roadbeds and small worms rigged Carolina style are the best bait. The best colors are gourd green and translucent colors for clear water. Look for the fish to start moving out on the points as the lake level drops. Use a Rico top water bait early and late.

Hybrids and whites are still scattered and moving and the best bite is still to come. Colder weather is the key to turning on the hybrids and we have not had enough cold weather yet. Rooster tails or sassy shads or buck tail jigs are the best baits. Fish with live bait for hybrids in 18 to 20 feet of water over the trees.

Crappie fishing is fair around the bridge pilings in 12 to 15 feet of water. They are still biting at night under the bridges using lights. Minnows and crappie jigs are the best bait.
