Conditions still tough for the most part, but if you stick with the junk fishing pattern you increase your odds. Reaction baits like rattle baits, chatter baits, ripping, blades, and some smaller swim baits all picking up fish here and there. Some fish are hitting shaky heads on rock piles and on breaks. Drop Shotting can be hit or miss depending on where you are at on the lake. I have heard the jig bite is starting to pick up down around Henderson. Reports of swim bait fish as well they tell me that if you are in the right spot you can catch some nice fish and a fair amount. The fish are schooling it appears so if you tag one stay there and fish awhile to see if they are bunched up. Some reports this week on spoons down south in deeper water around Rattle Snake and Wheeler as well.

Many of you have asked questions about places to stay, and where to eat while in Lakeport, so here are my suggestions. Lodging, I prefer Rocky Point Cottages a beautiful setting with cabins more for the individual looking for a place where they can cook and have more of a home like atmosphere. The Skylark Shores Resort has many rooms an can handle large groups and has been a destination for some time. One of my favorite places to eat is Rene's Cafe across the street from Tackle It. great comfort food and they are fishermen friendly, just tell them Ed sent you and they will take care of you like family. Remember to check out the new online store her at www.tackleit.biz.
