Some kind of cold out there. Fish are being taken on Minnows you can expect about 25 bites a day about 18-22 hook ups. They can be fished on a Split Shot rig, light Carolina Rig, Drop Shot and under a Float. The Jumbo Minnows are nice size and full of spunk so if you have never fished minnows come up and give it a try. For those who prefer baits I would stick with the Rip Baits and continue to use a Deep Crank in shallow water. The Rattle bait bite is still picking up few here and there. Spreader Rigs are catching a fair amount of the bass and I confirmed today that in one of the past tournaments the large bag was caught using Maverick Kick Tails. The Spreader Rig (In Stock)can be fished with many baits it is really up to you and your imagination. For soft plastics a Shaky Head with a Speed Worm or Senko seems to be best. Dart Heading small 3.5 Paddle Tails and Mini Shaker Worms are picking up those lazy fish.

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. A few other great places to stay are the Mallard House Great rooms at a great price and the Carriage House. 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. And for when luck is not kind and you need your truck or Auto repaired Mackey Tire Center here on South Main street is my choice great service and great people.

Well the spreader rig is still the talk of the town people are using everything from River 2 Sea, Kick Tails, Paddle Tail Swim Baits to Grubs on them. But they are catching fish and some nice fish. Other patterns to try would be cranking a Glass Rap Shallow banging bottom, Dart Head a small Paddle Tail Worm 3.5 Maverick, Cranking a DD22 shallow, Bottom Walker deep, Ripping various baits. If you like Minnow Fishing the bite has been pretty good I know of a several people catching 30 plus pounds best 5 on these little live swim baits. Fish can be caught on soft plastics using a Shaky Head or Drop Shot but the key is slow.
