Got something to say?
my favorite lake to fish at. Use ur jigs ang spinners. stick with bright yell or bright green or bright pink skirts for the spinners. if after a lot of casts if ur not hittin the spinner dont give up on it. Change the skirt. It may work. If u think its the spinner in general then switch. Stay away from top waters. Cast out as far as u can and wait for your lure to hit the bottom. then reel in slowly up ward till its about 3-5 feet off the bottom thats where they are around now. then just bounce it all the way in. You should pick up some good ones. I dont know if you have a Pig in your tackle box but those are great!! Try to find some big weed piles on the bottom and toss a weedless in there with a pork grind attached those work great.
Good Luck!
I was just there Memorial Day Weekend and found the bass in post-spawn stage. I caught several keeper (15″) bass in 8-12 feet of water in Painter Creek. The largest bass was weighed at 7.5 pounds. Crankbaits that will run these depths and Carolina rig lizards were the most productive.
