Edit Report Updated August 27, 2010
WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 2.4 FEET, 91 DEGREES AND STAINED BY CHRIS BELL
Bass fishing has been good. Fish moved up a little this week with the rains and cooler temperatures. Most fish were in depths from twelve to sixteen feet deep with bites being really scattered. My best bait this week was a one eighths ounce Davis Baits shaky head with a Zoom Kudzu finesse worm. You had to fish the shaky head slowly to draw a bite. Also, be sure to watch your line very closely. Many of my bites this week felt heavy more than the normal tick feeling you would normally get when working a shaky head. The crank bait bite has not been as successful with fish being scattered, but the fish you do catch are better quality. Use a deep diving crank bait in a natural shad pattern such as a Norman DD22 or a Strike King 6XD. My best points to search for fish right now are from the 109 bridge north going up the river. During generation periods use deep diving crankbaits on humps and road beds. You can load the boat quick with some really heavy weights during these periods of generation.
Hybrid and striper fishing is slow. There has been some top water action early in the morning down lake at the mouths of creeks such as Wehadkee and Maple. Use popping corks and flys making long casts over schooling fish. Do not use your outboard to approach these fish because they are very spooky. Use your trolling motor on a consistent speed to get within casting distance. Once the top water action has slowed the best bites have been coming from down lake on deep flats, humps, and road beds during generation periods. Some the best areas to fish have been from Glass Bridge Park south. Using your electronics use your trolling motor to search out schools of fish. Shad have been really hard to find this year so use bream and chicken livers dropped into schools of fish. Watch your graph closely to locate large schools of fish. I have caught some trolling fish this last week. Troll a Norman Deep Little N in a lavender shad pattern near the main channel to catch suspended fish. You will have to cover a lot of water before getting a bite but they will normally be better fish. Be sure to check the generation schedules for the best feeding times.
Crappie fishing has been slow. This is the time of year to beat the heat with some night fishing. The most consistent fishing for crappie seems to be at night. This time of year bridge pilings will produce best. It will take some time to attract bait with your lights, but once you do the fish will be directly behind them. Use live minnows dropped down about twelve feet. The best bridges have been the 109 bridge and Yellow Jacket bridge.
