LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 2 FEET, 74 DEGREES AND STAINED
By: Mark Smith
Bass fishing is good and there are several baits that will work. Top water lures and buzz baits seem to be working at least some every morning on shaded banks and the bait size and presentation can be critical for success. Use both a small and large buzz bait and then use the Pop R and a large Chug Bug. It’s also a good idea to find a working come back or back up bait for missed strikes. This can be anything from a fluke to a jig to a spinner bait. Also try the Mann’s Baby One Minus and reel it fast. Some good fish have come from seawalls instead of visible cover and this may change with the weather. Docks and boathouses are still holding fish that are hitting jigs, soft plastics and some on crank baits. Primary points and flats along the creek runs and secondary points in coves are beginning to hold fish that are slowly headed farther in. Crank baits or Carolina rigs will usually catch a few of these structure holding groups of fish. Depths of these fish are varying from about 6 to 12 feet deep up the lake to 10 to 20 feet deep down the lake. Rip rap continues to hold a few fish, also. Crank baits, lightweight Texas rigs, and jig head and worm rigs are the primary choices to try.
