WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 2.9 FEET, STAINED & 71 DEGREES BY CHRIS BELL
Bass fishing is excellent. Fish are in all phases but look for a large concentration of fish to pull up on the bed this week with the full moon. With the stained water seeing these fish will be difficult. The best pattern in these conditions seems to be is pitching 3/8 ounce black/blue jig with a Z-Man black with blue fleck Chunkz. My other bait has been a Zoom green pumpkin eight inch lizard on 1/8 ounce Texas rig. In the backs of pockets and creeks pitch baits to isolated pieces of cover watching your line closely for the bite. The best areas have been mid lake between the 109 bridge to Yellow Jacket creek.
Hybrid and striper fishing is good. The best fishing has been north of Ringer access. Drop live shad and cut bait in deeper holes in the river. The bite has been the best when current is present so check generation schedules before heading out.
Crappie fishing has been great. Fish have been caught in two ways. There are a few beds left, but most have left to stage on docks and brush piles. Use live minnows below corks approximately two to three feet deep. The best creeks have been mid lake in Whitewater and Wilson creeks
