WEST POINT MAY 2008

WEST POINT LAKE IS FULL, CLEAR & 73 DEGREES BY CHRIS BRACKETT, HIGHLAND MARINA AND RESORT, 706 845 1004

Bass fishing is good and the fish are being caught several different ways right now. I am still throwing a 5" Yum Dinger in a silver shad pattern and a Zoom Salty super fluke in pearl. I am fishing in 1-5ft of water around red clay with rocks also fishing the grass in the backs of pockets. Right now creek feed pockets are key in the morning time to throw Pop-R's and Zara spooks but also remember to fish the blow downs and Rip Rap in Yellow Jacket.

Hybrid and striper fishing is great right now and the same pattern is still working. Cut shad is working great when the water gets muddy but as the water clears up switch to live. I like to use 2-4inch threadfin for 90% of my bait but I always have some big gizzards with me just in case I get around the big stripers or hybrids. Lately fish up to 8lbs are common with most of the fish being 2-4 pounds.

Crappie fishing is still really good here. Fish are in shallow water lake wide. Good baits this week has been a Black/Chart Tube Jig fished under a cork about 9 inches. Throw the jig out there and hop it back to the boat. Good places to fish is the back of Half Moon Creek, Yellow Jacket Creek, and White Water Creep and by McGee Ramp.
