The bass fishing here is outstanding on bass to 4 pounds 30 to 40 bass in 5 hours of fishing is fairly easy here. Jigs Senko's Baby brushogs Crankbaits Ripbaits & Spinnerbaits all are working here now Bass are in 8 to 20 feet of water.

pumpkin green/black green crystal jigs
watermelon red/black flake senko's brushog
junebug senko's brushogs
black/blue jigs
bluegill jigs
char/white spinnerbaits
tenn shad ripbaits
fried green tomato crankbaits

If you are within 100 miles it will be well worth the drive to fish :D

The holiday weekend is going to be busy here in a couple of week most of the hookup camp site are filling up fast There calling for water so looks like next week they may start releasing some water that will stir them up even more and the crappie bite should also pick up. Trout are boiling in the early morning and late evening.

Mark lake info say 1 hr. after sunset. I think sunset is about 8pm . Is it a big deal or just come in when it gets dark?
