His last two trips produced 27 and 33 bass ranging between one and 10 pounds. Bass are stacking up around the mouth of major creeks on humps and ridges 18-30 feet deep, hitting lead tail spinners, Carolina rigged worms, French Frys and Flukes. It's important to fish the baits very slowly. The key to success now is marking fish on sonar and waiting them out until they decide to bite. When one or two bass decide to feed, the action often triggers other fish into biting.
Crappie fishing is still very good under the bridges and around main lake points with timber.
Give Lake Limestone a try. Locating the fish are easy, simply drift the waters out from the bouys near the dam. Blues in the 5-8 pound range are common but most trips produce several double digit fish. Fresh dead shad work best but can be tough to catch. One of the better areas for catching bait is around the river channel at the bridge.
