LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 2 FEET, 74 DEGREES AND STAINED By Mark Smith
Bass fishing has been fair and crank baits in the middle of the day are working up lake. Use a DT6 Rapala crank bait in hot mustard, a Shad Rap or Bomber 6a or 7a and use 10 pound test and fish warm clay banks. This is a good time head up the rivers. Up lake, fish the small fingers off the rivers that have shallow cover close to the banks. It’ hard to beat an all brown 3/8 ounce Strike King jig with either a Zoom salt trailer or an Uncle Josh pork trailer. Try swimming the jigs on and around cover then drop them into the cover after a few swimming casts. Run a Strike King spinner bait in the 3/8 ounce size with silver and gold blades in either the willow leaf or Colorado combinations on any wood. Later each day up river, use the chartreuse and white Bill Norman crank baits or the chrome and blue combination Shad Rap crank bait. Work these baits right up on points but get the baits run as deep as 12 feet for strikes.
