Lake Sinclair is down 1.26 feet with the water stained and the temperature in the low 70s.
Bass fishing is good. This lake warms fast once the sun comes out and this is a good time to use a Lucky Craft spinnerbait. Try a Weedless Wonder head and a Zoom trick worm in red glitter or June bug. Shad Raps will work as the bass are feeding on shad in the pockets. Use the Lowrance Structure Scan technology and you can spot the bait balls up to 200 feet away. The bass will be close by.
Try a Spook or Sammy in the mornings on seawalls and grass beds near the mouths of the pockets. Also, run a 3/4 ounce Rat-L-Trap down the center of the pockets for fish that are schooling on the baitfish near the creek ditches. Flip docks in the Little River area with a Texas rigged Zoom Trick Worm in June bug or black/red for fish in the main/sunny part of the day.
