WEST POINT LAKE IS FULL, CLEAR & 86 DEGREES BY CHRIS BRACKETT
Bass fishing is good and the bass are being caught several different ways. Use a 3/8 ounce Chatterbait in a silver shad pattern and a Zoom Salty super fluke in pearl. I am fishing in 1 to 5 feet of water around Brush with rocks near and also fishing the grass in the backs of pockets. Right now creek feed pockets are hot in the morning and use Pop R's and Zara Spooks. Also remember to fish the blow downs and rip rap in Yellow Jacket Creek.
Hybrid and striper fishing is great right now and the same pattern is still working. Live shad are working in 17 to 20 feet of water. Down lake check the creek mouths and humps. Use a 2 to 4 inch threadfin for 90% of my bait but always have some big gizzards just in case we get around the big stripers or hybrids. Lately fish up to 8 pounds are common with most of the fish being 2 to 4 pounds. Also the top water bite is still fair but should pick up later this week. Throw Pop-n Corks and Rooster Tails for some great schooling action.
Crappie fishing is still really good here. Fish are in shallow water lakeside. Good baits this week has been a black and chart tube Jig fished under a cork about 9 inches. Throw the jig out there and hop it back to the boat. Look in the back of Half Moon creek, Yellow Jacket Creek Whitewater Creek and by the McGee Ramp.
